Crochet Cherry Blossom Bolero Pattern—The Blossamer Bolero Sizes S-5X

LANGUAGE: ENGLISH ONLY

***Please see the section "Blossamer Bolero Pattern" for individual versions of each size bracket***

This 37 page crochet pattern provides written and photo instructions for this simple but gorgeous bolero, which is constructed seamlessly with no sewing involved.

There are no charts in this pattern, all instructions, including the lace, are written row by row/round by round. Along with written instructions, over 100 photos are used for every step of the lace motif that cannot easily be explained by words, alone. Photos are also used for every disparate part of construction (armholes, sleeves, working the lace in the round, etc.)

Several parts of the pattern are worked together for all sizes. The pattern will direct you to skip to the instructions pertaining to your size bracket.

The PDF also includes clickable links to allow easy navigation and collation of the pages pertaining to your size bracket.
