1950s Sideways Knitted Bolero Pattern with Lace Detail – 34–36 Inch Bust

A lovely little 1950s bolero with an unusual sideways construction and a pretty openwork pattern. The ribbed borders and shaped front edges give it a neat finish, making it just the thing to wear over a dress or with a favourite skirt.

Knitted in Double Knitting wool, this is a charming design with plenty of interesting detail, particularly in the way the bolero is worked sideways rather than in the usual direction.

The original pattern calls for approximately 13 oz (370g) of Double Knitting wool, using old UK size 9 and 11 knitting needles, approximately 3.75mm and 3mm respectively.

Designed to fit a 34–36 inch bust.
