1940s Evening Bolero Knitting Pattern – Long or Short Sleeve Vintage Shrug (Bust 34–36)

A versatile 1940s bolero that’s easy to adapt to your style, with the option to knit either long
or short sleeves. The design features an all-over raised texture that adds subtle detail without
complicating the knitting, giving it a refined finish that works just as well for evenings as it
does layered over everyday outfits.

Originally designed in 3-ply yarn, it can also be worked in 4-ply with careful attention to tension,
making it flexible for modern yarn choices. Knitted on 4mm needles and sized to fit a 34–36 inch
bust, it’s a straightforward project that delivers a polished, vintage-inspired piece you’ll actually
wear.
