Description
This shrug or bolero is made of velvet yarn and is ridiculously comfortable. While it looks complicated, it is actually deceptively easy to make. Just crochet a rectangle and sew two ends together, add edging and cuffs, and voila! a bolero. The shrug pattern includes the sizes Small through Large, as well as Plus sizes 1X through 3X. The pattern also includes a stitch diagram for the cable pattern and video tutorials of select cable stitches used (links below). Diagrams are included for the shrug folding and assembly.
