Knitting Pattern - One Stroke Bolero

The One Stroke Bolero is designed to be knitted in one piece, starting from the neck band to end by binding off in the middle of the bolero. It is knitted as a large tube with a folded neck fold and arm holes for wearing the bolero. The pattern is designed to be an easy knit, suitable for knitters at all levels of skill comfort. Let this be a bring-along project when you are out and about or a project that you can work on while chilling at home. It can be a project that you brings accompanies you while you find your zen amongst other attention-seeking demands in life.
