I am on my second Pixie Bolero, The first one I made for a friend, but found that it was abit small for me.... so I am on my second one and making it bigger (was blessed in the chest department lol).... nearly done, and I just LOVE BUTTONS, so can't wait for this girl to be done, also making her in 100% crochet cotton, thank you for such clear instructions and being an amazing teacher x
Hey Michelle, so I did what she said, added 8 stiches(chains) to my first row... so you will have 144 + 1 (145) chains to start, this is where you add the extra 8 stitches, then I worked it out to be 72 Boxes (2nd row), 145 Double Crochets, 35 Loops and 2 Half loops, 18 Shells in total, then 36 different boxes above the shell row to make the next support row.... this is how I worked it out, but always counted, esp the double crochet rows.... if those are out your whole pattern is wrong. I hope this helps you 🙂 Anja's pattern is 136 +1 chains begin with 137 chains/ 68 boxes/137 double crochets/ 33 loops, 2 half loops/ 17 shells/ 34 different boxes. @@michellevangsgaard1976
Thank you for the pattern and the tutorial. Instructions were very clear. I am a UK 16 and quite busty. So I used 161 (160 + 1) stitches (160 would work both as a multiple of 4 and 8) based on feedback people have given on sizing here, and it seems to have worked. I also used a thicker 100% cotton yarn which I had recycled from another sweater. I'd probably need more stiches if I were using DK. For those struggling with size, I think it could help to keep crocheting (the first row) till the length fits the length you want on both your arms (drape it across your back and shoulders) and round up/down the number of stitches to a number that is a multiple of both 4 and 8 (e.g. 144, 152, 160, 168 etc). Hope that helps!
Hi thanks for your input. I think I'm a size 18 and probably even bustier 😂. I've got a thickish cotton based yarn which I'm going to use a size 6 crochet hook with. I hope it works 😊 out. Thanks from Debbie in South Africa!! I hope yours turned out great!! ❤
I've just come back from a weekend market and one of the stalls was selling crocheted crop tops. As a larger woman I just knew that they wouldn't be large enough to fit me, but as a crocheter it inspired me to look up patterns that I could adjust to my size. Yours was one that crabbed my eye 👁, and honestly, I don't know how I managed to miss it when you first posted it, considering that I'm a follower of your channel. Luckily I have yarn with me (I'm currently camping on summer holidays down in Oz. ) and I really like this pattern as I can make it a bit longer and wear it as a V neck, and know it'll hang past my larger chest and hang right. Good thing I have a tape measure with me.
@OpheliaTalks when it's finished I'll take some photos and post them to your Facebook group. I already have plans to use your pattern for a crop top jumper. I'll let you know how that goes.
TY I have started my first one! 💚 Beads would be beautiful at the single chain middle part of each shell, or maybe all along one of the solid rows! Do the math and put all the beads you will need plus extra on the yarn before you start-is my ambitious idea🥰
Lovely idea christina.i crocheted my wedding dress 50 years ago and I treasure the memory as I know you will too.every blessing with the making of it.💝💝
Ive just got back into crochet, as learnt it as a small girl. Im 51 now. Im finding it a great way to relax at night and sleeping better for it. Ive started this top as want to wear over my white polo neck sweater in winter in stead of a jacket when out for meals. Ive found the tutorial amazing and really clicked withvthe pattern formation. I find it hard to put down and cant wait to pick it up again. Im doingvit in a sparkly pink and will defo be making more in different colours. Thankyou so much xxx
Hello, I just wanted to tell you that I figured out what I did wrong. And I finished my bolero, today. I love the way it came out. Thank you so much for sharing this beautiful pattern.
Lovely, thank you for sharing this video! Great to learn how to build those rows on top of each other, and how to get back from shells to straight stitches.
I’ ve just finished the Pixie Bolero for my elder granddaughter and she loves it. I ‘ve started another one for my younger granddaughter now. Thank you so much for the lovely pattern and the excellent video.
I DID IT I FINALY DID IT that was my second project ever imagine I'm a total beginner and made too thankful to the easy and clear step by step tutorial ❤❤❤❤
Lindo e fácil de fazer,apesar de não entender a língua,mas consigo acompanhar perfeitamente.Muito obrigada pelo seu ensinamentos e paciência que vc teve nesse vídeo explicando cada detalhe para uma linda execução.🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤
I just realised that I watched your video of how to make a poncho and made two! Now I’m just starting thePixie Bolero as my yarn has now arrived. Thank you again.
I am in love with the bolero it's so beautiful ❤️❤️ i will make one for my eldest daughter she will love it too maybe i will make a small version for my granddaughter they can be wearing this kind in summer made with bamboo cotton yarn just perfect 😁 thank you so much Nora
Passando para agradecer novamente!!!! Consegui fazer 1 e já estou no segundo!!! Como moro no Brasil, escolhi fazer na linha mais fina pois o nosso clima aqui é quente! Thank you!!!!! 🥰
This is such a beautiful pattern. I have just returned from Rome and this pattern reminds me of the Colosseum with all the pillars and arches. The instructions are very clear to understand and the fact that it can be worn 2 ways is just brilliant. Thank you for creating such an amazing pattern.
Oh my goodness! I rewatched this while I was working on my second entrelac blanket. All the sudden I thought that would be cute with buttons on the shoulder area. With the gaps in between. So many things could be made. I’m trying to relive stress as my parents are going through a rough time right now. My mother fell down a short staircase of 4 stairs in her house but has a brain bleed & broken collarbone. My dad depended on her for all his care. He was in the hospital last week for what my mother thought was a stroke. They have stairs in the middle of their house to go to their bedroom so we’re trying to get my mother to accept that that house is not working for them anymore. It’s really sad. It just cheers me up to watch this video of that vintage bolero that looks like my mothers toddler dress. Thanks for your beautiful creations. Joanie
Oh Joanie, so sorry to hear about your parents health, I hope things settle down for you soon, sounds like they need to move to a bungalow!! Crochet is one of the best medicines for stress, so get that hook smokin'! And, a great idea with the buttons too, thank you, Anja x
That's such a cute bolero. Blush pink is such a lovely color, and perfect for a wearable, in my opinion (that could be from my getting more compliments in blush or dusty pink than any other color I wear 😊). Thank you for sharing.
Hi! 🙋🏻♀️🇺🇲 What a soft, lacy & pretty crochet bolero top! Love that you can wear it 2 ways! Your instructions are very clear and easy to follow. This will make a perfect summer top. Thank you for sharing!!! 🫂❤️✨🧶🐈
I just started to learn crochet and I have made a couple of strange blobs of rows of sometimes tight sometimes too loose chains that are a mess, but after watching your video it is all starting to make sense to me now. I plan on starting this project after work today. Thank you for sharing this beautiful sweater pattern.
Thank you ever so much for your tutorial. Your instructions were very clear and precise. That bolero is very nice and lacy. Perfect for a cool summer evening 🌺
Can't wait to have a go at this lovely bolero design, but I guess I should finish my Cleopatra shawl and also my Flower Poncho first!! (Yarn is ordered and on it's way though) lol
Linda cor, lindos pontos, essa combinação é possível fazer também com fios mais grossos e fazer uma peça de inverno grande!!! Enfim, a criatividade com essa combinação vai longe 🤩🤩🤩 agradeço por compartilhar seu trabalho lindo!!! 🌹🌼🌻🌺🌹
Thank you Anja! This pattern worked out very well. I too made it for my daughter and am waiting for her to come home and try it out. I loved working on it.
I’m sorry lourdesgomez9812, I don’t speak every language in the world, but subtitles are available, click the cog in the bottom right of the video, and select your desired language, I hope this helps, Anja x
Thank you Anja for such a clear tutorial of a beautifully modelled bolero. Now I have to decide which colour yarn to order that will best match my summer dresses 😊
Omg how beautiful. I started last night with yarn I had in my stack... I'm a beginner but the way you explain and work I can easily follow..thank you so much ❤
Absolutely wonderful production in this video The timestamps are super helpful and also you've shown the final product so clearly (with a beautiful model). You'd be surprised how many tutorials are out there that don't even show the final product properly! I started making this yesterday and it's been a lovely make. Can't wait to see how it turns out - liked and subscribed - can't wait to see more of your work :)
I absolutely love your tutorials. This is the second one I’ve made. Your directions are so clear and your voice is very encouraging. I also love the delicate and lacy nature of your patterns. You are my favorite instructor on y tube. Thank you so much.
Thank you soooo much for this tutorial. I'd been looking for a tutorial for a top like this FOREVER!!! You explain it so well; super easy to follow along to. The pattern and the final result are absolutely beautiful and I can't wait to finish mine❤(I'm planning on making one for my mom and one for myself) Thanks again!
just finished my first one, and now that I get the concept of how it's constructed, I want to attempt making one from granny squares! So easy to fold, too! Just make a little rectangle and she pops into the drawer! Keeping my eye out for some cute mandala yarn so I can make another!
Hola. Yo lo he hecho son ovillos de DMC Natura Linen de lino y algodón de un color un poco más oscuro que el del vídeo. Precioso trabajo, gracias por compartir.🥰🥰
I've just finished this bolero for myself. I really love the result! So beautiful design and button idea are amazing✨ also your explanations are easy to understand. Thank you for sharing:-) from Japan🇯🇵 p.s. Buttons I prepared were too small and easily came off... so I use crochet cords instead (lace up using holes) and it also works. I'll gather buttons which is right size and make another one!
@@OpheliaTalkshi can you please help me with the length. When I did 137 chains it’s only 26 inches 😢 and on the video your looks longer as well I did the chains as you did
I so love boleros. I always take them when I travel it keeps me warm. I soooo love this lacey design Anja. Love your videos. I’ll be making this one soon for next year for my travel. Your works are awesome & amazing designs. I’m so blessed I finally found your site. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH🙏🌟
This is really a beautiful pattern. I always enjoy crocheting more when the weather gets cooler, so I was looking for a little project. I think this will be a perfect gift for my bff who's bday is in January. She lives in a warmer climate, but still needs something light for evening. Now to find the perfect color! Thxs for sharing💖
Your designs are so beautiful and I am working on a version of your Flower Poncho as I watch! May I make a comment about the video itself? The intervals where you play music while showing your daughter modeling the bolero are much louder than your voiceovers to the point where I have to reach over and adjust my volume. If that can be adjusted so they are more equal it would be so nice since they come abruptly and I am working on your poncho! It interrupts the flow. I don't think this is the first video of yours where this has happened but I may be mistaken. Thank you!
@@OpheliaTalks Thank you and I hope my comment wasn't annoying. You do offer wonderful content and I just hope to be helpful in making your channel the best it can be! Now back to my Flower Poncho...
I’m sorry Olga, I don’t speak every language in the world, but subtitles are available, click the cog in the bottom right of the video, and select your desired language, I hope this helps, Anja
Can you ask for her measurements, or maybe measure something she already wears? How to do the multiples is in the video, thank you for watching, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks Thank you. She is very small. Her shoulder width is 13 inches. Is there any other measurement that I need to take? How do I see the multiples in the video?

I agree. She didn't over complicate this pattern. I just wish I could buy the written pattern in the USA. But, she doesn't seem to be set up for that.

Hola. Yo lo he hecho son ovillos de DMC Natura Linen de lino y algodón de un color un poco más oscuro que el del vídeo. Precioso trabajo, gracias por compartir.🥰🥰
That sounds amazing, if you're a member of the FB group I'd love to see a picture potxolizuhaiz3348! Thank you, Anja x
Great tutorial.
I've just finished this bolero for myself. I really love the result! So beautiful design and button idea are amazing✨ also your explanations are easy to understand. Thank you for sharing:-) from Japan🇯🇵
p.s.
Buttons I prepared were too small and easily came off... so I use crochet cords instead (lace up using holes) and it also works. I'll gather buttons which is right size and make another one!
Awesome! Thank you Lee! Anja x
@@OpheliaTalkshi can you please help me with the length. When I did 137 chains it’s only 26 inches 😢 and on the video your looks longer as well
I did the chains as you did
Brilliant! I love your design ❤
Thank you very much Monica, enjoy, Anja x
I so love boleros. I always take them when I travel it keeps me warm. I soooo love this lacey design Anja. Love your videos. I’ll be making this one soon for next year for my travel. Your works are awesome & amazing designs. I’m so blessed I finally found your site. THANK YOU SOOOOO MUCH🙏🌟
Hi, glad you found my bolero tutorial. Thank you felicartan1838, Anja x
Beautiful
This is really a beautiful pattern. I always enjoy crocheting more when the weather gets cooler, so I was looking for a little project. I think this will be a perfect gift for my bff who's bday is in January. She lives in a warmer climate, but still needs something light for evening. Now to find the perfect color! Thxs for sharing💖
You’re welcome Annie, what a lucky friend, l hope you enjoy making it, thank you, Anja x
I love it ! Too bad with my figure I can’t wear something so short.. maybe I can figure out to make a longer version.. 😅
More rows
@@lorriv9763 Yes! I think it will be that easy too 😅 Such a pretty pattern 💕
Thank you Happycamper5529, all you need to do is more rows! I do hope you enjoy, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks I love all your designs, I am yarn ready for 3 of your projects ❣️ Just need to finish moving to my new home 😅🤟
I made it longer by connecting same designe on both side as modle
wow Anja!! Such an amazing ponco!! And such an AMAZING model your daughter is!!! Loved them both!!
You're very welcome Olga, thank you, Anja x
Your designs are so beautiful and I am working on a version of your Flower Poncho as I watch!
May I make a comment about the video itself? The intervals where you play music while showing your daughter modeling the bolero are much louder than your voiceovers to the point where I have to reach over and adjust my volume. If that can be adjusted so they are more equal it would be so nice since they come abruptly and I am working on your poncho! It interrupts the flow. I don't think this is the first video of yours where this has happened but I may be mistaken. Thank you!
I'm sorry, but I'm unable to alter the volume on those sections, I have tried, I will look into it further Woodlawn22, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks Thank you and I hope my comment wasn't annoying. You do offer wonderful content and I just hope to be helpful in making your channel the best it can be!
Now back to my Flower Poncho...
Another fantastic item and tutorial. Im going to make it a bit longer. I have the blush from you, and Im in love!❤
Thank you Lorriv9763, hope you enjoy, Anja x

Thank you, This is a great tutorial.
I wanted to understand how to decide on the measurements. I want to make this for my niece who is 10 years old
Can you ask for her measurements, or maybe measure something she already wears? How to do the multiples is in the video, thank you for watching, Anja x
@@OpheliaTalks Thank you. She is very small. Her shoulder width is 13 inches. Is there any other measurement that I need to take? How do I see the multiples in the video?
