Beautiful Boleros: Simple Knitting Patterns for Shrugs and More

March 4, 2014 by AllFreeKnitting 13 Comments

One of my favorite spring accessories is the bolero. There are so many things to love about this darling variation of a cropped sweater. Simple knitting patterns for boleros, shrugs, and Beautiful Boleros: Simple Knitting Patterns for Shrugs and Morecapelets offer a lovely combination of warmth, modesty, a hint of elegance, and an air of mystery. A classic bolero knitting pattern can be worn in a number of ways – each of which convey a different emotion. Pair it with a fitted t-shirt for a fun layered look. Pull one on when you’re in need of an interesting texture. A sweet little shrug can transform a simple dress into from blah to boho chic. Personally, I am a huge fan of the ballet style wrap. Aside from style, shrugs, boleros, and capelets are also a practical wardrobe staple. They’re are a great way to cover up in a place of worship or keep warm on a chilly spring evening. With dozens of stylish ways to rock a bolero, you’ll be wondering why you never knit one before.
