An easy, versatile 1940s bolero that’s quick to knit and simple to wear. The cropped shape makes
it ideal for layering over dresses, tops, or high-waisted outfits, adding a bit of structure without
feeling heavy.
The pattern uses just 4-ply yarn, so it’s a lightweight project that comes together fairly quickly.
It also includes instructions for making your own shoulder pads, giving you the option to add
that subtle vintage shape or keep it more relaxed for a modern look.
While no standard size is listed, the original measurements suggest a comfortable fit around
a 34–36 inch bust. With straightforward construction and classic styling, it’s an easy project
that results in a piece you can style in multiple ways.
