More than lightweight, summery outerwear to add to your crocheted wardrobe. This crochet bolero with a little clever twist would also cast some creative sense.
It’s short at the back and longer at the front so you can tie a knot or just wear it as it is.

Materials: ( I used )
3.5mm crochet hook
Sport weight yarn: green ( about 300 gr for the sample – size L/ 50 gr or 136 yds per skein )
( Check out my Yarn shop – free worldwide shipping )
Yarn needle
Scissors
Note: I used chainless starting dc for every first dc of each row/ round instead of ch 3. There’s another good crochet technique to use is ch 2, dc into the same stitch ( counted as 1st dc). In the pattern below you’ll see I simply state dc into 1st stitch for every first dc of each row/ round, so choose your best technique 🙂

2dc-V stitch: ( 2dc, ch1, 2dc ) into same stitch or space.
