Four types for summer-spring

Short motifs

Motifs are knitted items that have a finished geometric shape. Most often knit square ones, but a product made of round elements looks much more exquisite. Imaginative joining of motifs results in something weightless and delicate.

If you crochet in this way, it will be very fast and easy. It's even faster to crochet a little girl's bolero with crochet motifs.

A universal option, designed for daytime wear, for adults and children-bolero top on the ties of a neutral color (white, beige, for example), which is combined with any shade.

With fishnet collar

For evening events like going to the theater, cinema, restaurant, a cotton bolero with long sleeves, connected with a continuous smoothing and collar, formed by a series of air loops and columns with a hook, will be the ideal solution luxurious, elegant and tasteful.

It will be spectacular if you choose a brightly colored yarn for knitting.

Mesh bolero

On particularly hot days the "holey" bolero is the salvation of every woman. The pattern is absolutely unpretentious, even beginners will cope: a column with a stitch, two air loops, a column with a stitch. And that's it!

The shorter such a bolero, the better it will look.

Based on the square

One of the most original types featured in this selection.

Description:

1. A square is crocheted or knitted with knitting needles or needles;
2. The beginning and end of the two parallel edges are connected by a chain of air loops (the number of loops is the same);
3. Next, a quadrilateral is tied on all sides until the desired result.

The piquancy of such a cape is that, firstly, the shoulders are open, and secondly, a combination of several patterns at once is provided: one made the basis, the other - the front shelves, etc.

Thick material will allow you to knit such thing and for colder days.

Four models for autumn-winter

Circle Base

Perhaps one of the easiest options to execute. The speed, of course, depends on the planned length of the garment.

1. The circle is knitted with slits for the arms;
2. Ties or buttons are placed in the chest area;
3. To make it warmer, it is recommended to make the sleeves longer by sewing rectangles connected in advance;
4. The top edge turns into a collar if you unscrew it;
5. Elegant if you fasten the front parts with a button or decorative pin at chest level;
6. The maximum permissible length is up to the waist.

An important point is that preference should be given to stretchy yarns and loose patterns.

Fluffy columns.

Such weaving allows you to make the wool even denser, that is, the bolero will be much warmer. Below will be described one of the ways (the easiest) to knit such columns.

The first two rows are knit with a stitch. To get that very lushness, do the following: throw the thread on the hook, then pull the loop through any wall of the column of the previous row (or between the columns); repeat the bunch for three to five times.

Yarn "Weed" combined with any plain

This option is a relatively cheap, environmentally friendly and humane alternative to a fur coat. Although the scheme is not tricky, the result is amazing if you take the same colors of both yarns. Five rows in any "flat" pattern; Two rows in fuzzy yarn.

With braids.

This ornament is probably one of the most popular knitting patterns in the piggy bank, so it's a sin not to use it to form a stylish bolero. It is important not to go overboard with the thickness and quantity of braids in view of the fact that it can, firstly, greatly weigh down the image, and secondly, the thing will hang like a bag afterwards.

Easy patterns for beginners

Bolero by Scissors

Description:

1. Make a pattern of a long rectangle;
2. Divide the resulting figure into three parts: the central - the width and length of the back of the future product, two side-length and width of the sleeves;
3. Dial the required number of loops on spokes;
4. Take off the first stitch;
5. Knit the first row with the right stitches (the last - with the wrong stitch, in order to get an even edge);
6. Knit the rest of the fabric in the selected pattern;
7. Put the finished rectangle on a flat surface and do the following manipulations: mark the borders of the back with pins or clothespins; sew the remaining side parts around the edges to make the sleeves.

The model presented is as exquisite and refined as possible, despite its simplicity.

You can crochet something similar: knit a rectangle, form the sleeves.

Bolero crochet for beginners

Step by step:

Unlike the previous description, here you can't get away with one piece. But, the more interesting. Details will be five: two sleeves, two front shelves, a back.

1. Tie two rectangles of desired width (the width of the shoulder, the widest) and length (up to the elbow) to form the sleeves by stitching the widest edges of rectangles;
2. Tie the two front shelves; the width of each is calculated by the formula: The width of the back divided by two, from the resulting figure subtract ten centimeters;
3. Sew the resulting parts.
