Fisherman’s rib beret with a classic and fun pompom.

The beret is worked from the bottom up in the round.

At first, stitches are casted on using the tubular method for a beautiful edge and worked in twisted rib. After working the ribbed hem, the beret is worked in Fisherman’s rib. The crown is shaped with easy decreases.

Play and have fun with two colours, or use only one for a more minimal style. The pattern includes instructions for both a one-color and two-color option.
