A classic alpaca beanie in an elongated shape

This is the KIARA style in a deep dark blue shade, with a soft natural halo on the surface. Aga chose a single rib and no turn-up, so the alpaca wool beanie sits softly and keeps a lighter profile than folded styles.

• 100% alpaca holds warmth well on colder days, so this beanie works for everyday wear in autumn and winter.
• Without a turn-up, there is less bulk at the forehead, so the beanie fits more easily under a hood and does not feel heavy at the front.
• The single rib stitch helps the knit adapt to the shape of the head, so the beanie keeps its relaxed, elongated shape at the back.
• The lightly fluffy surface gives it a softer, natural look, but on very sensitive skin it may feel slightly itchy.
• The medium weight gives a better balance of warmth and lightness, so the alpaca beanie does not feel overly bulky.
• Its high resistance to pilling makes it easier to wear day to day, helping the beanie keep a neat appearance for longer.

Extras and care

If you like, we can also make this style as a beanie with pom-pom in the same yarn. You can also pair it with a scarf, snood or shawl — an alpaca beanie and scarf set keeps the knitwear consistent in character. The yarn has been tested for harmful substances. This alpaca beanie requires hand washing; drying flat helps the knit keep its shape, and Marta packs it so it reaches you safely before first wear.
