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!

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

[handmadeschwan]

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.

The buttons allowing for the poncho to be worn either boatneck or v-neck is GENIUS! Definitely going to make this one!

[christinahutchison]

Love it. I’m going to use it as my base for a wedding dress

[lauraenterline]

I absolutely love this bolero and can’t wait to start it. You give such great tutorials- what an excellent teacher.

I ordered yarn for this on Thursday. Can't wait to get going on this!

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.

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🥰

[gabrielagomez]

Probably one of the best tutorials!! Instructions are very clear!

[laurelgirard]

So pretty. In all my years crocheting I’ve never made a summer top. This looks like the perfect one to try!

[mirib]

Oh, yeah- beads- pearls would be lovely!

[suzannekennell]

Thank you so much! I started this today and it is looking wonderful! So easy to understand too as a beginner. Thank you again.

[soniamarquez]

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.

[roselicoutinho]

[rosemarybennett]

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.

[quadraadjes]

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.

[ickyvicky]
