🌸 BEAUTIFUL FLORAL MOTIF

The main feature of this bolero is a large openwork floral motif worked in 9 rounds.

The motif begins from a small center ring and gradually develops into an intricate flower surrounded by beautiful open crochet mesh.

The pattern includes Chart 1 for the complete floral motif, together with detailed written instructions and step-by-step photographs.

🪡 CONSTRUCTION

The body is made using 6 full motifs:

• 4 motifs in the lower horizontal row
• 2 motifs centered above the middle motifs
• All touching motifs are joined together
• Two additional mesh shoulder/strap panels complete the upper body

The source schematic indicates approximately 22 cm per motif and approximately 88 cm across the four-motif lower row. Because no formal gauge is provided, the pattern recommends making and blocking one test motif before completing all six.

🔗 JOIN-AS-YOU-GO MOTIFS

There is no need to sew all six motifs together afterward.

The motifs are joined while crocheting their final round, using slip stitches to connect corresponding chain spaces of neighboring motifs.

The PDF explains both corner joins and side joins, with photographs showing the motifs being connected.

👚 SHOULDER & ARMHOLE CONSTRUCTION

After completing the six-motif body, a rectangular openwork mesh panel is crocheted from each outer front section.

These panels use Chart 2, based on a simple V-stitch:

V-stitch = (dc, ch 3, dc) in the same space

Each panel is worked until it comfortably reaches the corresponding upper-back edge. The panels are then attached to form the shoulders and armholes.

✨ DECORATIVE PICOT EDGING

The finished bolero features an eye-catching lace border around the visible edges.

The edging combines:

• Large and small chain loops
• Double crochet stitches
• Decorative picots
• Beautiful 7-point crochet fans

An original edging chart is included to make the decorative finishing section easier to follow.
