A merino wool beanie that stays on, stretches with growth, and actually keeps kids warm.
The wide rib knit gives the Dory enough stretch to fit a range of head sizes and grow with your child across seasons - without losing its shape or sliding off during active play. Merino wool regulates temperature naturally, managing warmth without overheating, and resists odour without synthetic treatments. It dries quickly and requires minimal washing, which matters when a beanie gets daily use through winter.
Unlike cotton (which absorbs moisture and loses warmth when wet) or synthetic fleece (which insulates but doesn't breathe), merino keeps its thermal properties when damp - useful for snowy days, rain, and high-activity outdoor wear.

Why is merino wool better than cotton for a kids' beanie?
Cotton absorbs moisture and loses its insulating properties when wet - a child wearing a cotton beanie in snow or rain will feel the cold quickly. Merino wool absorbs moisture vapour before it becomes sweat, maintains warmth even when damp, and dries faster than cotton. It also resists odour naturally, meaning a merino beanie can be worn for days between washes without developing the smell a cotton or synthetic hat would.
What age does the Dory Beanie fit?
The wide rib knit stretches to accommodate a range of kids head sizes. This one will fir 2yr – 12yr. The rib construction means each size fits for longer than a standard knit hat.
