The Ribelle Beret is a one‑skein, bulky‑weight beret, worked in rhythmic ribbing with smooth crown shaping. Designed for Malabrigo Mecha, it’s a quick, textured knit that creates a classic beret silhouette with modern structure. Two size moods are included — simply change needle size for a snug teen fit or relaxed adult style. A fast, cozy accessory perfect for fall, winter, and early spring.

Use 5mm/ US 9 and 6mm/ US 10 for the standard adult size.
Use 4.5mm/ US 7 and 5.5mm / US 9 for a teen (more fitted size)
