Elegant Bolero for Winter Parties
You don’t need to drape an entire blanket over your shoulders to stay warm in your party dresses this winter. Instead, crochet this elegant bolero, Diana, to keep warm without compromising your festive look. Diana looks more challenging than it is. If you can read a crochet diagram, it’s actually very simple to make, as it only involves crocheting a rectangle.
We’ve made it in many different yarn types. Here, you can see one in gold, crocheted with Lana Grossa Vintage Socks yarn and a thin gold thread, as well as one in black with a glitter thread and black silk mohair. Both are perfect for winter festivities and all your chilly dresses.
