For knitting you will need:

Yarn Art Jeans yarn;
Hook 3 mm;

Satin ribbon.

Crochet a bolero for a girl

You can choose any yarn color. We collect the initial chain. Its length depends on the width of the girl's back. Then we make 3 lifting loops and knit 1 double crochet (DC) in 3 loops from the hook. Next, knit 1 dc in each loop.

Next, turn around and again make 3 loops for lifting. We must do them at the beginning of each row. Then we knit again 1 dc. Then we repeat the series right amount once. It depends on the desired length of the bolero. Usually it is just below the chest. We will get a canvas from CCH.

At the beginning of the next row, you need to form a cutout under the arm. To do this, we form at the beginning of the row not 3 lifting loops, but an air chain. Its length should be enough to the next corner of the canvas. You can make it a little weaker. We attach the chain to the corner with 1 CCH.

We knit 1 dc in each loop on 1 side. We reach the 3rd corner and form the same chain of loops as for the previous sleeve. We attach it to the 4th corner. We knit a series of SSNs.

We make 3 lifting loops. Knit 1 more row of dc. Now we knit the columns and into the loops of the chains.

In the new row we make 3 loops. They will replace 1 CCH. In the same place we will connect 1 CCH. Then 1 VP. We knit 2 more CCHs at the same point. Then again 1 VP. Skip 3 loops of the base and knit the same combination in a new one. That is, 2 SSNs, 1 VP and 2 more SSNs. Then again 1 VP and then repeat knitting.

In the new row we will knit the SS to go under 1 VP of the previous row. And only now we knit 3 lifting loops. Then 2 more SSNs. Then 1 VP and 3 more CCHs here. Then 1 VP and 3 CCH under 1 VP of the next element. Next 1 VP and 3 SSN here. So we knit the whole row.

In the next row we will knit in exactly the same way, only instead of 3 CCHs we will knit 4 CCHs. That is, under 1 VP of the bottom row we knit 4 CCH, 1 VP and 4 more CCH. Next, we make 1 VP and move on to the next element.

In the new row, we will already knit 5 CCHs. That is, under the VP we will knit 5 CCH, 1 VP and 5 more CCH. At this stage, the increase is finished. Knit 1 more row for tying. We simply knit 10 CCH for each VP in the elements. We do not add between columns. And between the elements we do not knit the VP.

You can sew on a button and make a loop, or you can use it instead of a button satin ribbon. So the bolero will look elegant.

Bolero is a kind of cropped jacket. It does not fasten and is more likely to add zest to the outfit than for warmth.

The first boleros appeared about three hundred years ago in the wardrobe of Italian bullfighters. Women at that time did not differ much from modern ladies: they also wanted to look interesting and attractive. Without hesitation, they borrowed the idea of an interesting cape from the courageous bullfighters, but added a little decor.

Playing with style and color led to the fact that the bolero was to everyone's taste and appeared in the wardrobe of every fashionista.
