1930s Crochet Bolero Pattern | Vintage Capelet | Bust 34

This pretty late 1930s crochet bolero is a versatile little garment that’s perfect for wearing over dresses or blouses. An original American design, it features short sleeves, rounded fronts and a neat collar, creating an elegant finishing layer that can be dressed up or down. The original pattern suggests adding shoulder pads if desired, while a decorative brooch at the neckline provides a lovely finishing touch for evening wear.

Designed to fit a 34-inch bust, the bolero was originally worked in J. & P. Coats Knit-Cro-Sheen using a US Size 9 steel crochet hook. If you’re using modern materials, a crochet cotton of a similar weight will give the best results. The pattern includes clear instructions to help you complete your project.
