A beanie without a turn-up and with a slightly extended back, hand-knitted from 100% alpaca. It has a medium weight and works well through autumn and winter as a light yet clearly warm hat.

Petrol blue in a simple, classic shape

This style is part of the LAURIN line: no turn-up, a clearly defined vertical stitch pattern, and a slightly extended back. This construction gives it a more relaxed fit on the head, while the medium petrol blue looks calm and does not overpower an outfit. Aga chose a double rib here, which helps the knit keep its elasticity and hold its shape well in wear.

• No turn-up means less bulk at the forehead, so the beanie sits more easily under a hood.
• The double rib gives the whole piece flexibility, so the beanie adapts better to the shape of the head without feeling stiff.
• The medium weight works from chilly autumn through winter, so you can wear it beyond just the coldest days.
• The extended back creates a looser beanie shape, so the hat does not look too flat on the head.
• The surface has a delicate halo, which gives the knit a softer, fluffier look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Good resistance to pilling helps it keep a neat appearance for longer, so an alpaca beanie like this handles regular wear well.

Extras and care

If you like, we can also prepare a beanie with a pom-pom in the same yarn and colour. You can also add a scarf, snood, shawl or other matching handmade accessories from our collection — an alpaca beanie and scarf set creates a cohesive finish for colder days. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. This alpaca wool beanie should be hand washed; we have gathered the guidance here: how to care for wool accessories.
