Dark grey alpaca beanie for everyday wear

This is a handmade hand-knitted beanie in a single rib stitch, with a turn-up at the forehead and a softly fuzzy surface. The dark grey colour and simple shape make this alpaca beanie easy to pair with everyday outerwear, and Aga chose a medium-weight knit for this style, so the overall look stays lighter rather than bulky.

• 100% alpaca works well for the autumn–winter season, so the beanie provides warmth suited to colder days.
• The turn-up at the forehead creates an extra layer over the ears, which helps with warmth in windy weather.
• The single rib helps the beanie fit the head, so it sits close and keeps its shape in wear.
• The softly fuzzy surface gives it a gentler, more natural look than smooth wool beanies, but if you have very sensitive skin, you may notice slight itchiness.
• The medium weight reduces overall bulk, so the beanie works more easily with a coat or hood than very thick alpaca beanies.
• Its high resistance to pilling helps the surface keep a neat appearance for longer with regular wear.

Extras and care

If you like, we can also make this style as a beanie with pom-pom — the pom-pom is made from the same yarn as the beanie. You can also choose a matching scarf, snood or shawl if you want a coordinated set. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. This alpaca wool beanie should be hand washed; a short guide is here: how to care for wool. If we send a ready-made piece, Marta packs it so the knit keeps its shape in transit.
