These are knitted beanies for children, made from the same yarns as the adult ones and not from cheaper substitutes. Mohair goes into part of the range, merino wool into another part, alpaca into a few models. Polyamide keeps company with the long-haired yarns because it holds the shape of the knit. The compositions we print on the cards read mohair 82%, polyamide 16%, elastane 2%, and in another version mohair 41%, wool 41%. If you came looking for surf beanies small enough for a child, this is the shelf. Production in Europe is noted on most of the cards.

Merino Kids Beanie comes in Light Grey and Space Black. Rib Fluffy Kids Beanie is worked in a rib, in Dirty Pink and Stone Grey. Olivia Kids Beanie is the mohair 82% blend, in Flamingo and Yellow. Flip Drip Kids Beanie in Yellow & Pink Kush puts mohair together with alpaca. In part of the models polyamide takes 50% of the composition and holds the shape of the knit. The exact composition is given with every model.
How the compositions differ

The lines differ in what the yarn is mixed with. On Merino Kids Beanie the merino wool goes together with linen. In the mohair models polyamide runs alongside the long-haired yarn, because that is what holds the shape of the knit. In part of the models elastane at 2% helps the knit come back to shape after a day of being pulled on and off. Colours keep their own names: Stone Grey stays Stone Grey.
What to wear it with

When it warms up, swap the beanie for caps or hats. The rest of the winter set is hoodies and sweatpants, with socks for the feet. The smaller pieces sit in accessories.
Questions we get most often
keyboard_arrow_downkeyboard_arrow_up
Do kids' beanies come in sizes? No, there is one children's size and the knit does the fitting. Which yarns are used? Mohair in part of the models, merino wool in another part, alpaca in a few, with polyamide where the yarn is long-haired. Does mohair pill? It fluffs, and on the card we describe that as a fibre property rather than a defect. Are the adult ones the same? Yes, the yarns repeat in the women's beanies. Where are they made? In Europe, as noted on most of the cards. What else is there for a child? The whole shelf sits under kids.
