Nowadays knitting for many becomes a favorite and fascinating hobby. On the Internet, you can quickly select the most varied knitting bolero for beginners, as well as for more experienced knitters. Bolero is quite diverse in form and density, in texture and complexity of the pattern. It is worn not only in summer, but also in colder seasons. Knitted bolero can be decorated with artificial or natural fur, which will give it more value. Such models do not go out of fashion and are in constant demand. Any of the women of fashion will gladly get hand-knitted bolero, knitting with needles will not be difficult with a certain patience. But the second such bolero will not be anyone but you.

In order to start knitting, you need to decide on the model. In special magazines it's easy to find knitting bolero with knitting needles with description. Separately it is necessary to say that knitting bolero for beginners should be chosen more simple and not very labor-consuming. You can choose models that are knit with one cloth, so do not require the removal of individual elements with their further assembly. In the journals there are variants of knitting bolero with knitting needles with descriptions for both young girls and girls or for older women.

After you have decided on the model, it is worth buying the thread in accordance with the description. For those who are just starting to learn to knit and chose the bolero for this , knitting with knitting needles will begin with the acquisition of the necessary tools: knitting needles, a darning needle and, possibly, a hook. Information about the necessary threads and spokes needed for a particular model is in the description accompanying the drawing. Following the description are patterns of patterns that will be associated with your model, and below is the interpretation of the symbols used in the scheme. The description, schemes and decoding of symbols is designed to facilitate you understanding of all the moments of the process of knitting.

After all the steps described above have been completed, it is worthwhile to untie the patterns. As a rule, a square with sides 12 centimeters is knit. Thanks to this you can learn how to tie a pattern. The same unbound sample will allow you to calculate the number of rows and loops, and also compare them with the number indicated in the description.

We give as an example the description of the binding of a simple bolero. Knitting with knitting needles №4 and №6,5. The design of the model is not only simple enough, but also very interesting. There is no any art form. In fact, you just need to link a large rectangle.

First, you need to determine the width of the shoulders. To this value on each sleeve it is necessary to add on 10 centimeters. Let's say that the width of the shoulders is 42 cm, then we will knit a bolero (rectangle) with a width of 62 cm. It is desirable that the elastic band has the following density: 4 cm for 4 cm. It turns out that for our bolero it is enough to dial 99 loops. However, this is far from exact and not the final calculation, since you need to correlate the number of holograms recruited for your bolero with the pattern you have chosen. If the report is 4 loops + 2 edges, then you need to collect only 98 loops.

Then determine the length of the model. To do this, you need to measure the circumference of your arm under your armpits. To the length obtained, it is necessary to add 8 cm on both sides, which will be connected during assembly.

We knit on the spokes number 4 elastic band 4 - 5 centimeters, then we untie the pattern, and finish the canvas with an elastic band 4 - 5 centimeters. At the finished fabric we join the edges for the sleeves, thus obtaining bolero.

As you can see, nothing complicated. Having mastered this model, it is possible to start more interesting variants.
