This bolero is made all ln one piece on a long circular needle up to the armhhole and then divided, so that the two fronts and then the back are worked separately on regular needles.

The border is integral to the main body too, so no sewing or picking up stitches there! The only sewing involved is on the shoulders, the underarm sleeve seams and attaching the sleeves to the body and attaching the border to the back of the neck. The fastening ties and edging are done in very simple crochet.

The finished bolero jacket is designed to be not-too-tight and not-too-short and would make look great over any outfit, from jeans to a formal gown!

I think the pattern should be pretty easy to understand, but if you do have any queries, just PM me and I’ll do my best to help.
