About the model
Straight Up Bolero is a model with a tight fit in a delicate striped structure, made of stockinette stitch and purl rows and also the shift between 1 and 2 strands of yarn.
The back of the work is narrow, and the sleeves are straight.
The bolero is worked from the centre of the back in each direction across the shoulder and sleeve. Cast on using Judy’s magic cast-on method, and work the left side of the back piece back and forth shaping the back of the neck and the armhole working increases. The work is joined by casting on loops, and the sleeve is worked in the round. The sleeve is finished with a rolling hem. The edge along shoulders and neck is finished with an i-cord trim.

Choice of size
The bolero has a positive ease of 1-2 cm. This means you should choose a size measuring 1-2 cm more than your width of the back. If you are broad-shouldered you should go up a size. The width of the back is the amount of centimetres from each top of the folds between back and arms (when the arms are relaxed down by your side). If your back width is 36 cm, you should choose a size M with a back width of 37 cm.

Straight Up Bolero er en tætsiddende model i en fin stribet struktur, der dannes ved hjælp af glatstrik og vrangriller, samt skift mellem to tykkelser af garn. Rygstykket er smalt og ærmerne er strikket lige ned.
Boleroen er strikket fra midten i hver sin retning hen over skulderen og ned over ærmet. Der slås op med Judys magiske opslag, og venstre side af ryggen strikkes frem og tilbage med udtagninger op mod nakken og ned mod undersiden af arbejdet (under armen). Ved hjælp af løkkeopslag forenes arbejdet, og ærmet strikkes rundt. Det strikkes lige ned til ønsket længde og afsluttes med en rullekant. Kanten rundt langs skuldre, hals, nakke og ryg afsluttes med en i-cord.

Om valg af størrelse
Boleroen er beregnet med et lille positive ease på 1-2 cm. Det betyder, at du skal vælge den størrelse, der er 1-2 cm større end dit eget mål over ryggen. Hvis du har brede skuldre, kan det være en god ide, at gå en størrelse op. Rygmålet er antal cm mellem toppen af folderne mellem ryg og arm (når armene hænger afslappet ned langs siden). Har du et rygmål på 36 cm, skal du vælge en størrelse M med et rygmål på 37 cm.
