    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

      How do you do it biggere ? I cant find out. She tells multiple of 8 and i cant seems to make it Work ?

      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.

      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.

    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

    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🥰

    • @OpheliaTalks
      @OpheliaTalks  Рік тому +1

    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.

    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!
