Light blue turn-up beanie for colder days

The HELEN style has a close-fitting beanie shape and a wide turn-up, so it sits securely on the head and covers the forehead and ears well. The light blue shade feels calm and airy, while 100% alpaca gives the knit a soft look with a gentle halo. This is one of those handmade beanies that works well for everyday wear when you want a simple shape without too much volume.

• Medium weight works well for autumn and winter, making it a practical everyday beanie without an overly heavy feel.
• The turn-up at the front adds an extra layer of knit, so this alpaca beanie gives better coverage around the ears and forehead on colder days.
• The single rib helps the beanie adjust to the shape of the head, so the beanie style sits close and securely.
• The surface with a gentle halo gives it a softer, less raw look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Good resistance to pilling makes everyday wear easier, as the beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer.

Extras and care

If you like, we can add a matching pom-pom in the same colour and made from the same yarn. You can also order a scarf, snood or shawl to go with it if you are looking for a matching set. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. Aga made this model by hand on a knitting machine, using a stitch that creates even, flexible ribs. Hand wash and dry flat so the alpaca beanie keeps its shape; we have gathered more tips here: how to care for wool.
