8-Hour Bulky Bolero Knitting Pattern – 6 Sizes, Bust 32–42

This vintage knitting pattern is for a simple bulky bolero, offered in six sizes from a 32 to 42-inch bust.

The original leaflet calls it the ‘8-Hour Bolero’ and suggests that it can be knitted in one working day, making it a particularly quick vintage knitting project.

Originally designed for Patons Big Ben yarn, the bolero is worked on old UK No. 3 (6.5 mm) and No. 4 (6 mm) needles and fastens with one large button.

As the original yarn is vintage, use the tension given in the pattern when choosing a modern substitute rather than relying on the yarn name alone.

Yarn quantities and further sizing details are included with the pattern.

Six sizes to fit bust measurements from 32 to 42 inches.
