Bolero shrug using Double Crochet stitches, worked in raglan style crochet to start. Front of piece is shorter than the back of the piece. Pattern includes optional cuffs and collar. This pattern can be customized to your specific fit, including the neckline, body fit, sleeve size which is worked in the round, and optional cuff length, and I’ve included suggestions for modifications at each section of the pattern. As written, the pattern fits to a standard woman’s size 2X top with roomier sleeves.
