Crochet Bolero Tutorial: Create Your Own Stylish Garment

You’ll Need:

200g of “grass” yarn (150m/100g);

Crochet hook 1.5;

Needle;

Satin lace.

Size:

M.

Instructions

Starting Rows

1^st row: make 122 chain stitches as set-up row;

2^nd-8^th rows: work with double crochets to the end of the row;

9^th-15^th rows: work with single crochets to the end of the row.

Pattern Alternation

Continue with stripes alternating with 6 stripes in each. You should get 5 such stripes; make only 4 stripes on the 6^th one, increasing 15 chain stitches from both ends of the work. Continue crocheting with stripes. This bolero will look more effective if you make alternation of patterns, not only colors. As a result, you should get 15 stripes and make 2 such details.

Assembly

Fold your work in half and sew. Fasten the bottom part with double crochets and insert satin lace. You can decorate this bolero up to your liking.
