Crochet Bolero

This is my newly project the crochet bolero/jacket pattern. It is fit 2-4 years girls. I finished it in 1 month before the publishing. Now a day I am not feeling better so, I am late the pattern to share. So please pray with me.

This crochet bolero is a perfect match in every dress for yours little girls, it’s very easy to making in around and you can adjust easy in large size. I love and like the crochet bolero for my own daughter, I have a spare crochet yarn and start the pattern with my own way. It’s a very easy way to follow. This adorable pattern I made for my own little girl and share with you to learn and follow the pattern very easy.

In this season I make some new and special things in different design. I always try to make different things and hope you also like my work and follow the easy instructions in the crochet world. I am not the master of crochet but I tried to make some different and durable things to share with you and gain the appreciation.

Instruction:  this crochet jacket or lacy bolero for 2-4 years little girls, it’s very easy to crocheting in the circle. It’s starting into the middle and making around and around to complete the back side as you want to larger the size, after completing the desire size of the back then leave the armhole opening for the sleeves in both of the sides. The edges pattern I made very easy to understand and also made some pictures to show you about the lacy edges pattern. It’s the sleeveless crochet bolero, if you want to make the sleeves so, continue work to the same way to complete the sleeves, and then make the edges in your own choice. I hope you understand the pattern well if you have any problem so share with me in the comments. Before starting the pattern see the abbreviations.
