​Pink Crochet Bolero

You’ll need:

500 (550)g of pink Alpha yarn (100% cotton; 104m/50g);

Crochet hook 4.

Size: S (M).

Used Patterns

Square: work due to the scheme 1 with circle rows. Make 5 chain sts and circle them in the ring with 1 slip st. Make 4 circle rows due to the scheme, start every circle row with the stated quantity of chain sts instead of the 1^st st and finish with 1 slip st in the upper chain st increase. Make 1^st-4^throwsxonce.

Sleeves pattern: the quantity of sts is multiple 9 + 7. Work due to the scheme 2. Start every row with 3 chain sts increase instead of the 1^st double crochet and sts before pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with sts after pattern repeat. Make 1^st-3^rd rows x once, then, repeat 2^nd-3^rd rows, starting from the 2^nd row, make cross double crochets and double crochets behind chain st of the previous row.

Edge with ruffles: the quantity of sts is multiple 3. 1 double crochet + 1 chain st + 1 double crochet + 1 chain st + 1 double crochet in the same base st = 1 group of double crochets.

1^st rnd: single crochets, start with 1 chain st instead of the 1^st single crochet and finish with 1 slip st in chain st increase;

2^nd rnd: 3 chain sts instead of the 1^st double crochet, 1 chain st, 1 double crochet in slip st of the previous rnd, * slip 2 single crochets of the previous circle row, 5 chain sts, 1 group of double crochets in the next single crochet*; repeat from * to *, skip the last 2 single crochets if the previous rnd, make 5 chain sts, then, make 1 double crochet in slip st of the previous rnd, finish with 1 chain st and 1 slip st in the 3^rd chain st increase;

3^rd rnd: 3 chain sts instead of the 1^st double crochet, 1 chain st, 1 double crochet in slip st of the previous rnd, * 5 chain sts, 1 group of double crochets + 5 chain sts + 1 group of double crochets behind arch of the next chain st of the previous rnd, 5 chain sts, 1 group of double crochets in the central double crochet of the next double crochet of the previous rnd*; repeat from * to *, 5 chain sts, 1 group of double crochets + 5 chain sts + 1 group of double crochets behind arch of the last chain st of the previous rnd, 5 chain sts, 1 double crochet in the slip st of the previous rnd, 1 chain st, 1 slip st in the 3^rd chain st increase;

4^th rnd: 3 chain sts instead of the 1^st double crochet, 1 chain st, 1 double crochet in slip st of the previous rnd, * 5 chain sts, 1 group of double crochets behind arch of the next chain st of the previous rnd, 5 chain sts, 1 group of double crochets in the central double crochet of the next group of double crochets of the previous rnd*; repeat from * to *, 5 chain sts, 1 double crochet in slip st of the previous rnd, 1 chain st and 1 slip st in the 3^rd chain st increase.

Make 1^st-4^th rnds x once.

Stitches control: square = 8 x 8 cm;

Sleeve pattern: 31 sts x 10 rows = 10 x 10 rows.

Instructions

Bolero

Make 28 (32) squares and connect them in rectangular of 7 (8) squares wide and 4 squares high. For this, start making 7 (8) stripes of 4 squares, connect the neighboring edges of squares, for this, connect the neighboring edges of squares with slip st on RS, insert crochet hook only in back loops of sts of the last rnd. Then, connect 7 (8) stripes in vertical directions.

Sleeves

Make 79 (88) chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with sleeves pattern = 8 (9) pattern repeats + initial and final sts. In 44 cm = 44 rows from set-up row, finish your work.

Assembly

Sew the set-up edges of sleeves to the central 25 (28) cm of short sides of bolero. Make sleeve seams and the rest area of seam of 3,5 (2) cm long of short sides. Fasten the loose edges of bolero (= 14 (16) squares) with 4 rnds of edges with ruffle, make 18 single crochets in every square.
