A classic alpaca beanie in a calm brown shade

LAURIN is an alpaca beanie with a simple, everyday shape. The brown tone and the pronounced double rib give it a calm, versatile look, while the absence of a turn-up helps it fit more easily under a hood. Aga chose a rib stitch here so the knit keeps its elasticity and its characteristic vertical structure.

• No turn-up means less bulk at the forehead, so the beanie sits more lightly and does not create an extra layer under a hooded jacket.
• The extended back gives a looser finish at the back of the head, so the shape does not sit completely flat.
• The double rib helps the knit keep its spring, so the beanie adjusts better when putting it on and wearing it.
• The medium weight works well in autumn and winter, offering warmth suited to colder days without a very heavy feel.
• The surface with a light natural halo gives it a softer, less austere look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Its high resistance to pilling helps it keep a neat appearance for longer, so it handles regular wear well.

Extras and care

For this style, we can also make a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn and colour. If you would like to put together an alpaca beanie and scarf set, you can also choose a snood, shawl or scarf here: see matching wool accessories. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. The beanie needs hand washing and flat drying to keep its shape — we have gathered the guidance here: how to care for wool.
