Handknitted Headwear

Winters are getting shorter, but you appreciate your knitted beanie, beret or headband whenever it is an icy day with a fierce wind.

All kinds of knitted headwear. Do you prefer a beanie or a beret? Maybe a headband?

Beanie: There is hardly a warmer piece of headwear for a freezing winter day than a beanie. A beanie is a knitted cap that helps to keep a warm head. A proper beanie is deep enough to cover your ears and forehead. Humans lose over 70% of their body heath through their heads. By protecting your head, you will experience a sense of comfortable body warmth everywhere. Beanies made from wool, polyamide, and super-soft yarn like cashmere or alpaca are the best recipe to protect your body from heat. The natural fibres of the different sheep species contribute to the beanie's warmth. By adding a little acrylic or polyamide, a knitted beanie will last longer and can be worn in both damp and wet conditions. These synthetic fibres also prevent the natural yarns from coming loose. Then, view our beanies, Fallon and Vivian.

A spring beanie like Gilly will warm your ears and head on a crispy cold morning when you leave home. Spring beanies are made of lightweight cotton yarn. You can wear them rolled down or like a bonnet.

Berets Some berets have a turn-up brim to provide double protection to the forehead. Fine berets, like the Faraona style, are specially made for freezing days or when you are super sensitive to colds, as they have two layers. Double-layered beret styles have the advantage that they offer a lot of space: that way; you can easily play with the shape and turn the beret into a beanie or use the volume of the beret to tuck your hair in.

Headbands At Bronté, we set high standards for knitted headbands. They can't be very tied because you want to avoid a headache. In addition, a comfortable headband is lightweight to respect your hairstyle. And they should keep your forehead and ears nice and warm on frigid days. Cato and Camille are soft and warm headbands thanks to their refined composition. Have a look and be inspired by the wide choice of colours in the plain Camille or the glamorous Cato headband.
