KIARA Beanie 100% Alpaca 9026 Blush

A beanie without a turn-up and with an extended back, hand-knitted from 100% alpaca, with a medium weight that works well through autumn and winter when you want warmth without too much bulk at the forehead. We offer both ready-to-ship and made-to-order pieces — once you click your size, you will see the current making time straight away.

A classic alpaca beanie in a lighter, slimmer shape

The KIARA style is a women’s alpaca beanie with a calm, classic look. The blush shade leans towards a muted warm brown with a pink tone, while the lack of a turn-up and the extended back give it a softer, more relaxed shape than a traditional folded beanie. Aga chose a single rib here, so the knit keeps its vertical flexibility and sits evenly on the head.

• Medium weight works well in autumn and winter, so the beanie provides noticeable warmth without feeling heavy or bulky.
• The absence of a turn-up reduces bulk at the forehead, so it fits more easily under a hood and does not create a thick layer above the ears.
• The extended back gives the beanie a looser finish, so it does not end sharply at the crown and sits more softly at the back of the head.
• The single rib gives the knit sideways stretch, which helps with a better fit without making the shape feel stiff.
• The surface has a gentle halo that gives this alpaca wool beanie a softer, natural look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Good resistance to pilling helps it keep a neat appearance for longer, so this handmade beanie stands up better to regular wear.
• The yarn has been tested for harmful substances, which matters to some people when choosing a 100% alpaca beanie for everyday wear against the skin.

Extras and care

If you like, we can make this beanie as a beanie with pom-pom in the same colour — the pom-pom is made from the same yarn. You can also order a matching scarf, snood or shawl; with alpaca, a simple beanie-and-scarf set works especially well. This beanie requires hand washing and drying flat, as this helps the knit keep its shape for longer.
