Side-Buttoned Bolero #1122
A time-spanning bolero…as currant today, as when
it was designed. You’ll love the side-buttoned front. The directions call for
embroidery, beading & a fringe trim accents, as shown in the photo. But,
with its classic lines, it looks fantastic, when finished with 2 additional
rows of single crochet…& minus the fringe & beaded embroidery.
