More Information

Fit

The beanie is available in two sizes: Size 1 for children aged 2 to 5 years, Size 2 for children aged 5 to 10 years. The information is based on the average head circumference in these age groups – children with a larger head circumference can switch to the next size earlier.

The knitted material has natural elasticity – the hat adapts to the head and fits well even with different head shapes. It has no brim, but the material's elasticity ensures a secure fit and prevents it from slipping.

Our tip: If a child is borderline between two sizes, it's better to choose the larger size – the hat will grow a little with the material, and a hat that is too tight will be uncomfortable.

Materials & Care

The beanie is made from 70% extra-fine merino wool and 30% cashmere, crafted from yarn sourced in Italy. Extra-fine merino wool has such a small fiber diameter that it doesn't feel uncomfortable on sensitive skin. Cashmere enhances this effect with its naturally fine structure and gives the knit a special softness. Both fibers are free from pesticides and synthetic dyes.

Wool often regulates itself naturally in many situations: it hardly absorbs odors and has a natural antibacterial effect. Brief airing after wearing is often sufficient – washing is less frequently needed than one might initially think.

Care tips:

  • Air out in the fresh air after wearing
  • Spot clean with a damp cloth for small stains
  • Hand wash when needed with a mild wool or cashmere detergent, lukewarm – never hot
  • Dry flat – do not hang, as this distorts the shape
  • Do not tumble dry – cashmere and merino wool shrink with heat
  • Do not iron, do not bleach

A well-cared-for cashmere beanie retains its shape and feel over many winter seasons – and can easily be passed on to a younger sibling.
