The Coco Bolero is a chic knit that will add a touch of elegance and fun to your wardrobe. Throw it on over jeans to add sophistication, or on top of a little black dress for drama.

This show stopper knits up quickly in a super bulky weight yarn. But don’t be fooled--This is not going to be a floppy, shlumpy jacket. Au contraire!!

The fit is tailored (oh so French) and drapes beautifully without the bulk.The Coco Bolero pays homage to the great Coco Chanel and her invention of the classic Chanel jacket, which often used tweed.

This version has a simple to follow slip stitch pattern in 2 colors that mimics that effect. A double crochet edging finishes it off. Let your imagination run wild and play with all the color combinations that your heart desires.
