The Bayswater Bolero, by Genniewren Designs, is a cute shrug with puffed sleeves that is ideal for spring, summer, or fall.
The bolero is knitted top down, all in one piece. It features delicate lacy eyelets for the raglan sleeve increases, and a pretty cable pattern on the cutaway front. The main feature is a textured eyelet stitch pattern to border the neckline, sleeve edges and the hem.
The Bayswater Bolero uses stockinette stitch, garter stitch, yarn overs, and cables. The only sewing is for the sleeve cuff seams and one button for the neck closure. A longer version of the bolero is also included in the pattern for variety.
This versatile shrug is sure to please your doll. It's a fun, modern-style fashion accessory that's perfect to wear on a trip to London.
This PDF knitting pattern is designed to fit 16" dolls such as A Girl For All Time® and 17" dolls such as PetitCollin® Sylvia Natterer Starlette™
