So pretty. In all my years crocheting I’ve never made a summer top. This looks like the perfect one to try!
Ooooo Laurel, time to have a go! I hope you enjoy it, Anja x
I absolutely love this bolero and can’t wait to start it. You give such great tutorials- what an excellent teacher.
Thank you Laura, I do try and be as simple as possible, hope you enjoy, Anja x
Such a beautiful lacy design. This is a must make for the summer! I hope Rachel enjoys wearing it on her holiday! Thank you as always Anja xx
Thank you Tracey, yes, I believe she is enjoying it, Anja x
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.
That's great quadraadjes, so glad you know I'm still teaching people new things, thank you, Anja x
I love this tutorial so much! Not only the finished product itself, but also the way you explain every single step. You not only give the instruction but also WHY you did certain stitches the way you did them. That way you actually learn something and have more knowledge to use in future projects.
I'm so glad you like my method handmadeschwan.
Thank you very much, Anja x
Such a pretty pattern! And the yarn is lovely too.
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🥰
Oh yes misss.o.j. that's a lovely idea, it would also weight the bolero down and open the stitches up!
Thank you, enjoy, Anja x
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🇯🇵
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
That is awesome Shereen! Well done, thank you, Anja x
I love it
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.
@@michellevangsgaard1976
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.

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.💝💝
Same I made for my daughter after I read your comment
Thanks ❤.
I was thinking the same thing
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 🌺

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 😊
So terribly sorry to give you such a wonderful dilemma Penny, whatever you choose will look fabulous, 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.
It really is Dawn, I'm glad you're getting such nice compliments! Thank you, Anja x
It’s so lovely! I can’t wait to make it!
Thank you Susan, I hope you enjoy, Anja x

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 :)
Have you seen I did a lookbook for this project too? It JUST shows off the bolero?
This is excellent for beginners like me
Gorgeous piece and lovely colour
I'm glad you like it kokilpaul9737, and I'm so glad you can follow it, I try to make my tutorials as easy to follow as possible, thank you, Anja x
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

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.
Ooooo I'm so happy it's all fallen into place for you, well done, have fun, Anja x

How much yarn in grams did it take?
@redrockett77 plz give an idea if possible, i m a beginner..
@@train9688 I used approximately 740 yards of a #3 weight yarn.
@@train9688 I guess that would be about 250 grams

Wonderful Sameetashetty6924! Thank you for watching, Anja x
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.
Oh wow, l hope you're having a wonderful time down there. Thank you for making my project, it's so easy to adjust, enjoy, Anja x
@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.
Amazing video! Thank you! Your explanations are excellent and so easy to understand! Can't wait to make my new bolero ❤
Awesome! Thank you Miroslava! Enjoy your project, Anja x
It’s so beautiful!! 😍
Thank you so very much maestramartadinatyugra961 Anja x
Thank you sooo much. This is my first project and it turned out very nice . Lacy and beautiful. I fell in love with the pattern as well. Thinking to make Saul with this pattern.
I loved the way you explained how to do everything and each and every step so well. ❤❤
Hope to see your more projects like this in future as well.
You are so welcome @meenumaharjan2087, oh yes, there will be more patterns in the future, of that you can be sure! Thank you, Anja x
