Bolero

"This bolero pattern is worked in one piece from the hem and then divided for the fronts and back, simplifying the construction process. The sleeves are worked directly into the armhole so the only seams to sew are the shoulder seams. This is a great project if you prefer minimal finishing work! A beautiful shell on chains stitch pattern (an easy two-row repeat) creates an open stitch giving the bolero a light and airy feel. You won’t know you’re wearing it! Add a chic layer to any outfit, from casual wear in the warmer months to accessorising throughout the year for more formal occasions. /DETAILS Skill level : Easy US Terminology /MATERIALS Cotton Kings Sultan 525, (626, 768, 930) yds 4mm / G-6 Crochet Hook Stitch Markers Scissors Yarn Needle /FINISHED SIZE Size Actual Width (inches) Length (inches) Armhole Depth (inches) Armhole Width (inches) XS/S 28 – 34 36 15.5 6.5 5.5 M 36 – 38 40 16.5 7.5 6 L/XL 40 – 46 48 16.5 8.5 7.5 2X/3X 48 – 54 56 17 9.5 8.5 Sizes use guidance from the Craft Yarn Council. /STITCHES AND ABBREVIATIONS USED Single crochet (sc) Double Treble Crochet (dtr) Slip Stitch (sl st) Beginning (beg) Chain/s (ch/s) Each (ea) Previous (prev) Repeat (rep) Right Side (RS) Skip (sk) Stitch/es (st/s) Wrong Side (WS)"
