A classic alpaca beanie in a warm walnut brown

This style has no turn-up, so it sits more lightly at the forehead and keeps its longer, relaxed back shape. The walnut shade leans towards a warm brown, while the double rib stitch gives the form more structure, so this alpaca beanie looks simple and understated in everyday outfits too. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca in a medium weight provides warmth suited to autumn and winter, so the beanie works well in changeable weather too.
• The lack of a turn-up reduces bulk at the forehead, so the style fits more easily under a hood and does not add an extra layer over the ears.
• The double rib stitch helps the beanie hold its shape better on the head, so it does not look flat and keeps a clearly defined knitted structure.
• The extended back gives it a looser fit at the back of the head, which makes the style feel more relaxed than close-fitting.
• The surface has a delicate halo that gives the knit a warmer look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Its high resistance to pilling makes everyday wear easier, so the alpaca wool beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer.

Extras and care

For this style, we can add a matching pom-pom made from the same yarn if you would like to turn the classic shape into a beanie with pom-pom. Aga makes this style in a double rib stitch, which gives the knit a clear vertical texture and helps it keep its beanie shape well. We can also make a matching scarf, snood or shawl in a similar style if you are looking for a coordinated alpaca beanie and scarf set. Hand wash only; you can find the care instructions here: how to care for wool.
