PATTERN INFORMATION

This beautiful bolero is worked in basketweave stitch in a combination of one marled and one contrasting solid yarn. This bolero is designed to fall just over the bust and makes an excellent statement cover-up for a dress or sleeveless shirt. The bottom is worked in the round to the armpit divide, where the sleeve underarm is cast on to avoid interrupting the stitch pattern. It is then worked flat from the armpit up. The tops of the sleeves are joined using kitchener stitch or a three-needle bind-off, and the underarm seams are joined with mattress stitch.
