PDF Top Down Bolero Knitting Pattern Bundle 9

PDF Top Down Bolero Knitting Pattern Bundle

This top down bolero knitting pattern bundle includes two coordinating PDF patterns, with sizes ranging from premature babies and 15″ reborn dolls through to children aged 6–7 years.

Both boleros are worked from the top down, meaning minimal sewing is required. This makes them a practical choice for everyday wear as well as hospital and charity knitting.

Long Sleeve Baby & Child Bolero Knitting Patterns

The long sleeve baby bolero was created following customer requests.

The coordinating child bolero includes both long and short sleeve options, together with instructions for working in contrasting colours.

Both patterns are also ideal for using smaller amounts of leftover yarn, with most baby sizes requiring less than 50g of each colour.
