Warm bolero
A warm merino wool bolero is a mustwill come in handy in autumn, in cool weather. The heating season has not started yet, and it is quite cool in the office. Sizes: 34-38 (40-44) 46-50. You will need: 400 (450) 550 g of blue Bambou Soft yarn (65% merino wool. 35% bamboo fiber. 100 m/50 g); hook No. 4. Basic pattern for a bolero: the number of cast-on loops is a multiple of 5 + 2 + 3 ch. lifting p. Knit according to pattern 1. Start each row with 3 ch. p. instead of 1 st dc and loops before the rapport, repeat the rapport, finish with loops after the rapport. Repeat 1 time from the 1st to the 3rd row, then repeat the 2nd and 3rd rows. Attention! The initial and final loops are counted in the instructions as 1/2 of the rapport. The lace frill is knitted in circular rows: at first the number of loops is a multiple of 6. Knit according to diagram 2. Start each circular row with 3 ch instead of 1 dc and end with 1 sl st in the 3rd replacing ch. The diagram shows the transition of the circular row and 1 rapport. Repeat 1 time from the 1st to the 5th circular row. Knitting density, main pattern: 17 cast-on sts and 7 rows = 10 x 10 cm. Execution of the work: knit a chain of 122 (137) 152 ch + 3 lifting ch and knit with the main pattern = 23 (26) 29 rapports + 1/2 of the rapport on both sides. Finish work after 57 (60) 63 cm = 40 (42) 44 rows. Fold the bolero in half lengthwise. Join the lower 10 (10.5) 11 cm of the side edges with sc. The remaining 18.5 (19.5) 20.5 cm on both sides remain open and form armholes. Tie the cast-on and closed edges with a lace frill, while performing the rapports over the rapports of the main pattern.
