Free Crochet Lacy Bolero

I wanted to make a bolero for my daughter for the cold mornings we have been having. They are not cold enough for a jersey but a lacy bolero is perfect. She was sleeping when I made it and sadly this turned out an inch to small but that just means I get to design another one and I already have an idea of what I would like to do.

Size 1

Front

Back

Ribbing

Materials:

•  DK yarn, I used Acrylic Super Yarn from Spotlight.
•  5.00 mm and 4 mm crochet hook
•  Tape measure
•  Scissors
• Yarn needle

DC V stitch – dc, ch1, dc in the same space.

Pattern:

Ch 41,

Row 1: dc in 4^th ch from the hook, *ch 1, skip next 3 ch’s, v stitch in next ch* across. End with a dc in the last two ch.

Row 2: Ch 1, turn. Sc in the same stitch as ch 1 and in the next st. * sc in next ch 1 space, (sc, ch 3, sc) in the next ch 1 space* across. End with a sc in each of the last 2 stitches

Row 3:  Ch 3, turn. Skip first st, dc in next st. *ch 1, v stitch in next ch 2 space) across. End with ch 1, dc in last 2 stitches.

Row 4 – 25: alternate rows 2-3.

Now to work ribbing:

Change to a 4 mm hook

Working along the long length

Row 1: Ch 1, dc evenly across. (32 dc)

Row 2: Ch 2, turn. *fpdc into next stitch, dc in next st* Repeat across. (32)

Row 3: Ch 2, turn. *dc in next st, bpdc in next st* Repeat across.

Row 4: Ch 1, (counts as first sc) *fpsc into next stitch, sc in next stitch* repeat across. Finish off.

With right side facing, and completed ribbing on bottom. Join yarn in the top right corner.

Row 1: Ch 1, dc evenly across. (32 dc)

Row 2: Ch 2, turn. *fpdc into next stitch, dc in next st* Repeat across. (32)

Row 3: Ch 2, turn. *dc in next st, bpdc in next st* Repeat across.

Row 4: Ch 1, (counts as first sc) *fpsc into next stitch, sc in next stitch* repeat across. Finish off.

Fold piece in half so ribbing is right side together. Sew ribbing ends on both sides.

Weave in all ends.

To adjust the size:

Length - The beginning ch is multiples of 4 + 9

Width- continue with alternating rows 2-3 of the v stitch pattern until you get the width you require.

Crochet Bolero

 First on my list to make for Christmas is this crochet bolero for my sister

Here are my pictures of the finished bolero, I ended up having to block it slightly.

Pattern can be found here.

Here is a rough translation of the Portuguese text on the photos into English
You will have to open the pattern to see the pictures.

 start making a chain with 32 necklaces and 3 more chains to turn around and knife 3 points higher counting the 3 chains to turn.

After knife skip 2 chains and 2 basis points and knife over 3 points higher.

Keep this up until the end of his career.

Turn the piece and continue the same way until you reach the height you've desired.
This piece by piece and started back.

What I got out of it:

Ch 35, dc in the 4th ch from the hook, dc in next 2 ch's, *skip 2 ch's, dc in next 3 ch's* continue across.

Ch 4, *3 dc in ch 2 space, ch 2* repeat across, dc in end, ch 2, turn.

Here in this part, and who decides what extent ve do in your bolero. Use your creativity and how many careers knife desired .... if you do it will get many careers with a golinha to turn ... fizar less if he had run golinha careers. this detail is to your liking

What I got out of it: 

Not much to be honest. But making it up this is what I did.

Round 1: Slip stitch until you get to first ch 2 space, ch 2, 2 dc, ch 2, 3 dc. Sc in next ch 2 space. *3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in next ch space, sc in next ch space* until beginning. Join with a slip stitch.

Round 2: Slip stitch to ch 2 space, ch 2, 2 dc, ch2, 3 dc. Ch 6. *3 dc, ch 2, 3 dc in next ch space, ch 6*

Round 3 - 5: alternate rows 1 and 2.
