Bolero Vest Pattern!

I have decided to put this one out for free.. These bolero type cropped vests are all over this season! This one is based on a vintage rib warmer pattern I found.I takes 3-4 balls of Lion Brand Wool Ease worsted or 600-800 yards of other worsted weight yarn of your choice. Made in 3 peices on a small gauge knitting board (50-60 sets of pegs) or in one peice on one of the infinity type knitting boards!(100 -120 sets of pegs)

    HI Denise,
    What are the chances of getting either a cut and paste of the vest or the pdf in Adobe?

    It is wonderful and I would like to try to make it, but can’t access the pdf.

    Thanks in advance.

    Smiles,
    Betty

    Love the look of this vest and will start one soon. I think I’ll try a med yarn #4 for a lighter weight. Will let you know when it’s done. I usually post my pics on boardknitters or in my Yahoo photo album. I’m in Co now but was born in Youngstown, Ohio. I still have parents living there and visit them often. Maybe we can meet in person some time. Thanks for your patterns! 🙂

    Thanks Denise for the pattern, I made it for my grandmother for her stay in the hospital for her mastectomy.

  7. […] The two oldest were at camp so it was also a pretty quiet week as well. I got some knitting done on my Pi shawl the lace is working out so far with only pulling back a few rows so far. Then I had to get started on a test knit so the shawl is back on hold again. The mail this week brought two new knitting boards! One to replace my old one that had an untimely end… and another fine gauge board that was a surprise.. Thanks Lynn! Isela had a big week too with her Knitty Gritty episode airing on Monday. And it took till the second time I watched it (with Azia after she got back from camp) for me to notice that my vest is in it  as set dressing!! I had sent a few items along for them to use at Isela’s request, and hadn’t noticed it when I watched it the first time! But there it is just over Vickie’s shoulder my Bolero vest! […]

    Denise-
    I am trying to make this vest and I do have a board that is big enough for me to make it all one piece. However, I am new at loom knitting and am a little confused with the directions. I am able to follow patterns but any extra help you can give would be great.
