Bolero is a special piece of clothing. They can be so varied that they are worn with an evening dress, and with jeans, and with a club outfit. At the same time, crocheting a bolero is not difficult at all. It can be said that from adult clothes this is the simplest item suitable for beginner needlewomen.

If you want to realize this idea, then first decide what your bolero will be. You can crochet it tight or openwork, with or without sleeves. Someone makes it one detail, someone "collects" from independent elements.

How to crochet a bolero in one piece?

This method is good because there are no seams on the finished product. Knitting begins with a chain of air loops of such a length that it freely wraps around the neck plus 10 cm. This will be the top of the bolero, then knitting moves down. The point is, using different patterns, to expand the thing in a circle, first strongly (2 loops in every second loop of the previous row), and after the armholes are marked, already in shape. Thing will work outfree, flying. In this style, “pineapple” motifs are good.

There is another version of the whole bolero - a fully knitted circle, like a napkin, in the upper half of which slits for hands are left. Although unfolded, such a model looks strange, it looks great on the figure. The smaller part turns into a wide turn-down collar, and the large part becomes the rest of the product.

How to crochet a bolero from elements?

This can be done in two ways. The first is to connect the same (or slightly different) parts and fasten them in an identical way, the easiest way is to sew. The second is to make different motifs (flowers and leaves, fish and bubbles, etc.) and connect them with specially knitted cords or simply chains of air loops into a finished work. To make it beautiful and neat, you can cut out a bolero pattern from colored paper in a contrasting color (or at least from old wallpaper). The elements must be laid out on it in the right order, pinned to the base, and then taken for connection.

How to crochet a lace bolero?

If you like the originality of ribbon lace, then you can make a bolero from it. To do this, the required amount of source material is created, and then sewn into a whole product according to the pattern. Lace can be worn both vertically and horizontally, it already depends on your preference.

What else can you crochet a bolero from?

If you want something interesting and unusual, you can use less traditional materials for knitting instead of yarn. For example, there is a whole direction, whose adherents create from ordinary plastic bags. Craftsmen create from this packaging not only small items, but also entire wedding dresses. Some knit from scraps of fabric, strips of fur, and even from tape from audio cassettes. It would be a wish.

If a young fashionista grows up in the family, then you can knit your first bolero for her. Children's things, firstly, are created faster, secondly, less yarn is used for them, and thirdly, small flaws are not so noticeable on small products. In extreme cases, you can attach some kind of decorative flower to the place where you lost your pattern. The brevity that adult clothes need is not required for kids' outfits.
