This is a garment reminiscent of Jane Austin’s era. It is labeled as Intermediate (P - patience required).

The bolero has curved fronts knitted in a patterned stitch based on knits and purls. It is fastened with an (optional) corsage (which is knitted).

If making the corsage, yarn required is not included in the yardage. Chances are you will want a complementary colour most likely from scrap yarn.

Straight knitting needles in sizes 3.75mm and 4mm are required plus 4mm DPNs/circular needles. Other requirements are a stitch holder or extra yarn plus a wool needle for sewing seams.
