How to crochet a Bolero (All Sizes child to Adult)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 6 лют 2025
- Learn to crochet this easy bolero. It can be sized for children all the way up to adult. You measure yourself to get a custom fit. Don't be afraid this is easy and looks great.
Perfect for chilly evenings. You choose your yarn type and hook size. I used a medium weight yorsted yarn but found that this may be a little too thick. I suggest you use a lighter weight yarn or even perhaps some thick crochet thread. I used a J size hook, if you use a thread or thin yarn switch to a size H (5mm) hook. I added extra rows, but you can stop when it reaches your desired size. I was trying to hide my rear end... Oh well..... Happy crocheting

I won't waste my time making a crocheter's pattern that don't model their work. Thank you for modeling your bolero. It's look terrific!
Thank you! 😊
Yolanda, this is so gorgeous! I praise God once again for your generosity and the video teaching of this beautiful bolero. I am making one for a young lady that I have mentored. I want her to feel like a princess of the Most High King that she is, and with this gorgeous pattern I know she will feel like a princess! May God richly bless you and keep you!
I like it when you say "And now let's get the party started" it's so cute, and every video, I like it
Hi Yolanda, I am grandma Carol. I learned basic crocheting in 1977! Have made many blankets and scarves and doll clothes but never felt confident in my ability to do such beautiful pieces like yours. You make it so easy and you have a very pleasant way about you. Thank you so much for making and providing these tutorials!
I really love crocheting. Before I did not know how to crochet a bolero. Thanks to your tutorial, I can make bolero for myself and my beloved children. Thank you so much and hope to see your tutorials more.
Thank you for that Yolanda. You are a blessing. I will continue to pray, having been a crocheter for more than 60 years. I can't stop now, but prayer always heals.
Hi Yolanda, I made this bolero but I made it for my 16" fashion dolls and my BJD dolls. I used your measurement on the dolls and it works. So now this bolero can be said that it can be made from a doll to adult size. I also made a long-sleeve one. I've made more than one and they look as good on my dolls as yours look on you. Thank you for sharing this tutorial. Have a blessed day!
First I thought bolero is very hard, but after seeing this video I have changed my mind. I'll definitely do this project. I like all your videos and your teaching. Thank you so much for your help. Your videos encourage me to do more and more crochet.
Yolanda, I made two of these boleros, one in lemon green and the other in cream and sent them to my sister in Canada. She loves them and is always sporting them on. This was my very first attempt and the result was successful.You taught me to crochet. I never imagined I would ever hold a crochet hook in my hand!. I am a knitter.Thankyou Yolanda for making me smile. Merry Christmas.
Hi Yolanda; I made this for my granddaughter with a very fine thread. It consisted of three threads two violet the other a multi colored blues to green. This came from Mastic, Shirley NY. The women had a shop in her house the threads were amazing.
The bolero that I made has a little sleeve and looks very nice. Thank you so much for this pattern. It was do easy to follow. I live in Florida now and have some friends who fell in love with this pattern . So I am passing it on. Thank you, Loretta
I came back to watch again. I'm ready to start shrugs for my great grand daughters. Thank you. I may add sleeves for them.
+Yolanda Soto Lopez quiero que me enseñen puntos para chompa de niño a palitos y como empezar
You are amazing. Excellent job. As a total beginner, I found the instructions and video super easy to follow. Looking at the Bolero I thought it was extremely difficult and I wouldn't be able to understand. I crocheted with you following you step by step, set back the video, paused, continued the video and I am amazed how easy it was. Thanks so much for the easy measurements too. This is unbelievable. Thanks for sharing. xxx
Just to let you know that I really appreciate your teaching style and have an easy time following your directions
I know I've commented before, but I simply love, love, love this pattern. I've made four of them as gifts. Now, I'm working on one for ME!!
Hi Yolanda
I saw that video and was wondering how to figure it out.then I found yours...yeah for me.
I love your teachings,they are so easy to follow along and crochet with you.
Thank you very much...bless you
hello again. I am just finishing up my first Bolero, thanks to your expertise and wonderful, clear directions...I used a thread like like yarn with sparkle... it looks wonderful. Thank you So much, Yolanda! I am so happy to be able to watch you do the stitches and learn from you . ...grandma Carol
this was so much fun! I can't believe I made this in just 4 days and I consider myself a beginner. I DID IT!!!
I have watched this video so many times that I feel like I know you. You are a great teacher and I'm grateful for your tutorials. I just finished this shrug...it's too small for me but will look great on my niece. I will do another one for myself with corrected starting measurements and a bigger hook. Live and learn, right? Thanks so much, Yolanda. This was my second ever crochet project, and I loved it.
I really like the way you figured out the measurements. It works for any size. The Bolero is very attractive and adaptable.
Thank you Ma'am...This was really easy and not so boring giving long hours. I always love wearing shrugs. But i always wanted to make one. This tutorial teaches as it pops me really quick to understand.
Yolanda, you are an excellent crochet teacher, I really love this, and I will make one to my daugther, thanks to your teaching! God bless you and your family.
I love this! It's so easy to make. I have made 6 already 3 in multi colors for my granddaughters , one in coffee brown with specs, and two with red heart #10 crochet thread. The ones with crochet thread look very elegant .
I am making this with pink lace yarn and it is turning out just BEAUTIFUL!!!! Thank you!
Thank you! Finally a pattern that will fit real sized people lol. Love it, can't wait to get started, thank you for showing the pattern so clearly.
i should trust u that this is an easy project. i just started crocheting and did this using very cheap acrylic yearn thinking it would turn out funny anyway but i really regret it now. the bolero looks fab but feels cheap.
thanks for all the great videos!
Hello Yolanda (My Hero) starting on my 5th adult bolero as a gift. Made one (1) for myself last year, three (3) for my Sisters for Christmas 2013 and they loved it! Thank You xoxo
You're awesome! I saw this shrug on another video but it wasn't in English, I'm thrilled that I found you so I won't have to figure it out my self. Thank you!
I love this Bolero design I have made two of them for the fall weather. The only thing I added to it was sleeves. I wanted long sleeves so I could wear it on cool days to keep my arms warm. You make it so easy to crochet. Thank you...
Hi Yolanda. I have been crocheting a Bolero for one of my daughters. I used a fine yarn with sparkle in it and it is looking wonderful. thank you for making the tutorial, You are easy to follow and delightful to listen to and watch.
Hi Yolanda. You are such a wonderful and generous teacher. Though my knowledge of crochet was very limited, I could follow your instructions so well and managed to complete a project. Thank you for your free guidance.
Thank you so much for posting this video. Your explanations are perfectly clear and easy to understand and at the same time very detailed. I would like to make a bolero like this for my mother-in-law, and maybe even for myself.....Looks lovely. Thank you again.
Hello Yolanda,
Thank you so much for making this patern so easy to follow.
I'm goinging to be very busy making these for the elderly residents at my work place in Wales. UK. :)

Oh, thank you very much for your super easy tutorial, I was desperately looking for a simple patern to crochet a bolero, I could follow everything, and will be busy crocheting my own now. Thank you very much, keep doing things like this please. You are even wachted in the Netherlands!
I wanted to say THANK you for making this AMAZING tutorial! I am at this moment making my 2nd one.... And I wanted to share a nice TIP I have discovered ..... when working the DC shell stitches.... work them around and when its time to go up and start a NEW row this is what i found works nicely and seamlessly .... dcs ch2 dcs and on the LAST dc of that shell stitch i do a TRIPLE crochet to make it taller.then continue on the DC shell stitches of the new row. :)

I love this shrug, I made one for my sister using cream colored crochet thread. I shared your video with my cousin and she made a beautiful brown shrug t
Hello Yolanda, thank you again for your videos. I finished a cape for my 4 yr old granddaughter today!
next I plan to make a shrug for one of my daughters! : )
Your videos are so plain to understand and inspiring
Las tiendas de lanas e hilos son mi perdición, me gusta todo, si fuera rica tendría una habitación llena de hilos de colores, jajajaja. Yo envidio a la gente que vive en EEUU y que se dedica al croche o a hacer punto, ahí si que hay muchas tiendas de hilos, incluso los venden en supermercados. Aquí donde vivo no hay mucha variedad, es una pena. Un saludo Yolanda y hasta pronto!!! Muchas gracias!!!
you are so wonderful. I love your tutorials and love the way you talk and explain things so clearly. you are a STAR... Love you xx
This is the first garment i have crochet. it is going so nicely. you made the video very clear. thank you. i will try to post a pic when i am finished. :)

Hi Yolanda, I know you are gonna giggle. I didn't reduce one inch as advised and ended up with a bolero for a baby elephant!!! It took me one hour per shell row. Over 180 shells per row!!! The bolero was never ending. I cheated by adding extra SC rows round the arm and it fits me. I made this for my Sister in Canada. She would not know I made a mistake. I have started another for my daughter in law and I decided to TAKE YOUR ADVISE. THANKS SO MUCH FOR SHARING AND CARING. xxx
I came across this tutorial and I really love the style of this Bolero. I will be making this. Think you for sharing this as well as your easy to follow instructions.
What a great pattern. It is pretty, simple and clever. Thank you for translating it into English and developing the guidelines to make it fit. As a plus size woman, I really appreciate that. ;D Best Wishes, Carla P.
ya hice dos para niña y estoy haciendo una para mi hija, me quedaron bien bonitos, gracias yolanda, estaré al pendiente de tus demás videos
Oh Thank you so much. I am trying to make it, but sitting at the computer and trying to crochet ~~ sometimes it just doesn't work too well for me. If I have the written pattern the video helps immensely. Again, thanks so much. Linda.
Bonjour Yolanda,
Je fais le boléro à la même taille que toi et j'ai fait toutes les fleurs. Tout est magnifique.
C'est super !
Je ne comprends pas l'espagnol et l'anglais et je compte en même temps que toi mais en français.
Continue Yolanda !
A bientôt.

I plan on making this for my next project. Very simple pattern to follow, I am not an expert crocheter but have learned here recently from different you tubers such as yourself. I was wondering if it would be possible to make the sleeves longer and how I would do that? Longer sleeves would be nice for wearing in late fall earlier winter. Thank you for taking the time to make this video.
