A Knitted Bolero for Bella

I finished this last fall and forgot to photograph it. It's a knitted-in-one bolero cardigan from Junior Knits, by Debbie Bliss.


It knitted up quickly, though each row was really, really long. I used very long circular needles.


Love the chunky ribbing.

  1. Beautiful. I am really appreciating simple knitted items.

    That seems to me to be perfect for Autumn and Spring temperatures, when you need some extra warmth but not too much.

  3. Isn't it funny - I was just looking at your previous post about this bolero on Sunday, wondering if you'd ever finished that. I'm hoping to make the baby shrug for a little one I see at church every week. Bella's is a lovely color.

  4. I am making a bolero for my daughter too, seems they are quite in fashion for the younger set. The yarn is a soft heather color, perfect with casual denim. I love the color you chose for your daughter, it complements her coloring.
