How to Create Beautiful Crochet Motifs for Your Bolero

You’ll Need:

100% cotton yarn (530m/100g);

Crochet hook 2;

Small beads (for decoration);

Elastic thread.

Instructions

Make each motif in the shape of a square, but as a result, it'll look like a circle. Start with the main motif:

Step-by-Step Motif Instructions:

1st row: circle 6 chain sts in a ring;

2nd row: 2 double crochets in each st, make an increase st in the end of your circle;

3rd row: * 1 single crochet, 5 chain sts, 1 single crochet*; repeat from * to * to end of row;

4th row: * 1 double crochet, 6 double crochets in the obtained arch*; repeat from * to * to end of row.

If you want to make your bolero more effective, you can take another color yarn and make the center of the motif with it. Connect separate elements with slip st. Embroider the central part of the motif with small beads. Sew the buttons and make button-holes.
