This is a knitted beret by Makie. There's no quality label, so I'm not sure of the exact material, but it feels very soft, like cashmere. I've been holding onto this, thinking I'd wear it someday, but my daughter doesn't like it, and it's never been used. So, I'd like to pass it on to someone who does. The size is suitable for elementary school students from the middle grades to the upper grades.
