Stay stylish and cool this season with this free crochet summer bolero shrug pattern and tutorial from Yarnalina. This airy, breezy design is like a cropped sweater with long sleeves. It’s perfect for adding a light layer and giving your arms some sun protection.
The pattern is simple enough for beginners, with the only slightly tricky stitch being the double treble, which is clearly explained. Because the body panel is only half the size of a regular sweater or cardigan, it works up quickly. It’s ideal for an easy weekend project! The lacy stitch pattern creates a beautiful open texture for both the body and sleeves, while the ribbed cuffs add a cozy and polished finish. Available in 9 sizes, from XS (34.5″ bust) to 5XL (46.5″ bust). This bolero is perfect for layering over dresses, tank tops, or summer outfits.
