Favorite Boleros & Shrugs to Knit - Crochet & Free Patterns


The free patterns included are:  Adelaid shrug; & ruffled shrug - all to easily create & lovely to keep or gift!


1950s Ribbon Bolero, Hat & Bag Set #941

Boleros & shrugs are wonderful projects, doubly gratifying because they take a smaller amount of time to complete & because of the fabulous additions they make to your wardrobe.

Classic styles repeated or revised for generations, they add instant glamour to any dress.  A day-time outfit can go from the office to an evening event with just the donning of a bolero.

Create your bolero with metallic yarn [either alone or combined with another yarn], add some beads, sequins into your work & you have instant glitz & glimmer.  The simplest classic pattern can be altered with a change of yarn, or by stringing beads on your yarn as you work.

Below I have listed some of my favorite boleros & shrugs, which I know you would enjoy working.

Please take a moment to also view my large selection of boleros & shrugs along with the other vintage patterns in my etsy shop, Miss Julia's Vintage Patterns

The proceeds from the sales of my vintage patterns are used in support of rescue animals.

Please share my store with friends and family to assist in this effort.
