Light grey alpaca beanie for everyday wear

This style comes in a calm light grey shade and has a close-fitting shape with a turn-up, so it pairs easily with everyday outerwear. It is a practical alpaca beanie for women and men: handmade on knitting needles, with a clearly defined single rib that helps shape the hat and gives it a simple, clean look. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances.

• 100% alpaca in a medium weight works well for autumn and winter, so the beanie provides noticeable warmth without becoming a very heavy style.
• The turn-up at the forehead adds an extra layer of knit, so this area is better covered on colder days.
• The single rib stitch helps the hat fit the head, so the beanie sits close without creating a stiff shape.
• The surface has a soft natural halo that gives it a gentler, cosier look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• Good resistance to pilling means that with normal wear, the beanie keeps a neat appearance for longer.
• Handmade on knitting needles, the knit has a visible, lively texture, so this alpaca wool beanie does not look flat.

Extras and care

We can add a matching pom-pom made from the same yarn if you would like to order a winter beanie with a pom-pom in a coordinated colour. We can also make matching accessories from the same yarn, such as a snood, scarf or shawl: see matching wool accessories. Aga chose the yarn and stitch here so that this 100% alpaca beanie keeps its close-fitting, everyday character. Care is simple but should be gentle: hand wash and dry flat; you can find a short guide here: how to care for wool accessories.
