The wool originates from Patagonia and is spun in Italy. This Beanie is knitted in full cardigan stitch. The beanie is tightly fully-fashioned knitted on a 5 gauge flat knitting machine with 6 threads extra spun, pure new wool. The compact structure ensures that the beanie keeps in shape and that the loops are less likely to be caught when wearing. Andersen-Andersen have beanies in three different lengths, and this is our medium length. All our beanies are knitted in a heavy quality. One Size fits all.
