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
- Rico Essencial Cotton Lurex

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

Knitting pattern for Violet Coast Bolero is available from LoveCrafts, Etsy and Ravelry

Terra Vest knitting pattern

Today I'd like to share my new knitted design - Terra Vest. I've made this vest in size 9-12 months for my little daughter Veronica.
 

This vest is really fancy and easy project. It is knitted in the round and completely seamless.
It is knitted bottom up in the round up to underarms and then front and back are finished separately back and forth. 

The top edge of the vest is finished with knitted bind off. Because of breast bands this vest will last a bit longer than other garments, you can simply reattach the buttons.

I've written the knitting pattern which was successfully test knitted on Ravelry. Thank you so much to my lovely test knitters! 

The knitting pattern for my Terra Vest can be downloaded from one of my pattern stores:
