Boléro



Here's my latest knitting project
completed today from
Naoko Shimoda's Standard Knit 下田直子のかんたんニット
It's a Japanese pattern, but charted, so it was easy to follow.
I love the simplicity of the pattern.
I ripped apart a vest that I made over 28 years ago
and recycled the yarn into something more contemporary.
I knit until I ran out of yarn so the neckline
is a bit larger than the specified pattern.
I love it.
The alpaca mohair yarn is so soft, like bunny fur.

Hi-
I would love to make this bolero but can't find the pattern anywhere. Would you mind telling me where you got it?
Thanks.

I bought my book at Uwagimaya. It is available from Amazon Japan as well.
