Black alpaca beanie for everyday wear

This is a handmade hand-knitted beanie in classic black, with a turn-up brim and a single rib throughout. This construction creates a simple, practical shape that pairs easily with a coat, puffer jacket or hood. 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 for everyday wear without feeling heavy.
• The turn-up at the forehead creates an extra layer of knit, so this area gives better coverage for the ears and forehead in colder weather.
• The single rib helps the beanie keep its fitted shape, so it sits better on the head without looking stiff.
• The surface has a light halo that gives the knit a softer, less raw look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• High resistance to pilling makes regular wear easier, as the beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer.
• The black colour and smooth vertical stitch pattern make this style easy to wear with both sporty and more urban outfits.

Accessories and care

If you like, we can also make a beanie with pom-pom from the same yarn and in the same colour. You can also add a scarf, snood or shawl if you are looking for a coordinated set, for example an alpaca beanie and scarf set. Aga chose a medium knit weight for this style, so the alpaca beanie keeps a good balance between protection from the cold and everyday ease.
