Grand Papillon Bolero

It's time to share my new knitting project - Grand Papillon Bolero. This bolero is an adult version of my Papillon Bolero which I designed for my daughter last summer.

Grand Papillon Bolero is a quick and easy summer knitting project.  This bolero is an ideal garment for hot summer days which turns any outfit into a stylish feminine look. This beautiful bolero is knitted bottom up as one piece with no seams. It has beautiful lace butterfly on the back and raglan sleeves.

The bolero is made in beautiful dark pink color with sport weight cotton yarn.

The knitting pattern for Grand Papillon Bolero is available from one of my pattern stores:

Lady Butterfly Vest

I have designed and made new knitted vest for my little daughter. It is a beautiful vest with a butterfly at the front. It completes a set with my Lady Butterfly Hat which I designed last spring. Surprisingly the hat is still fitting my daughter. So, you can see the complete set in the pictures.

The vest is knitted on 3.25 mm needles using Garnstudio DROPS Baby Merino yarn shade 08. I love this yarn. It is very soft for baby projects as well as easy to work with.
