Violet Coast Bolero - project and yarn ideas

If you are looking for perfect summer knit, the Violet Coast Bolero is a dream. You can complete it in no time to get ready for summer vacation or any event. It is perfect for layering and can be easily combined with favourite skirt, pair of jeans or a party dress.

Knitted seamlessly in cotton yarn, Violet Coast Bolero also makes a perfect project for those who avoid all types of seaming. It is knitted bottom up with easy to memorise lacy stitch at front.

The bolero is knitted back and forth but I recommend to use circular needles in order to accommodate the big quantity of stitches.

Violet Coast Bolero is knitted with sport weight yarn. The following yarns can be used for this project:
- Phil 3 cotton yarn from Phildar
- Cotone from Lana Grossa
-  Schachenmayr Catania
- MillaMia Naturally Soft cotton
- Cascade Ultra Pima Fine

All those yarn are available in very rich and beautiful colour pallets.
