A Winter Winner
A cosy bolero, perfect for layering on cooler days or to keep warm and comfy indoors.
Knitted in stocking stitch with a garter stitch yoke and lovely fur effect collar. No borders to stitch on either - just the collar to attach.
The design would work well in any super chunky yarn which knits to a standard tension of 10 sts and 14 rows using a 10 mm needle. Two good King Cole yarn substitutions could be Timeless Classic Super Chunky or Quartz Super Chunky.
You will notice that I used a size smaller needle for this design to give a closer textured knit.
