Crocheted Bolero. A way for beginners
So, all you need in the process is a hook, yarn and a little imagination. The simplest model of bolero is intended, rather, to decorate an open evening dress, than for everyday wear. First you need to take measurements. Take a centimeter and measure your girth under the chest. Subtract 15 centimeters from this value, the resulting result will correspond to the width of the product. And the height of the bolero is equal to the size of the armhole. Having decided on the standards, you can start knitting. Having chosen a pattern, it is necessary to knit a chain of air loops equal to the width of the product. Next, the selected pattern is executed until the height reaches the desired value. In principle, that’s all. Now you need to connect the corners of the resulting rectangle. The result will be holes that act as armholes.
If there is a desire, then you can tie the finished bolero around the entire perimeter, as well as the sleeves with some beautiful pattern. The rest of the design is up to you. Usually, beads or sequins are used for decoration. A model made of unusual yarn (for example, with lurex, beads, etc.) does not require additional decoration at all, since by itself it already looks festive. Now you are convinced that crocheting a bolero for beginners is not a problem at all.
