This is a simple bolero jacket made with bamboo yarn. The yarn is extremely soft. It is best to use it for clothes or shawl or any or that sort. Too soft for other things. I used a 3 mm hook as the yarn is quite thin even though it is a 6 ply yarn.
The tutorial video :
The non flower part I made a criss cross double crochet stitch. Firstly, measure your back, the width of your back, to determine the number of stitches on your foundation chain. It has to be in a multiple of 2.
Row 2, chain 2, do a double crochet on the 4th chain from the hook. Next, go back to the 3rd stitch from the hook and do a double crochet. Skip one and do a double crochet on the next stitch. Now do a double crochet on the stitch that we skipped. Continue until the last stitch.
Row 3 until the length that you want, chain 2, turn the work and do the same as above.
Once you have the length that you want, do some chain stitch for the arm hole. Refer to video above for better understanding.
Do the same type of stitch again but this time it is going round the whole piece, including both of the arm hole chain. Do until the length that you want and the last part, I added a row of flower stitch.
First, do double crochet all around. Next row, do single crochet all around. 3rd row we start to build the flowers, which normally is in a multiple of 8. The gap between flowers are about 8 to 9 stitches away. After we had reach the length that we want, we might not get a total number of stitches in multiple of 8. So some of the flowers I made a 9 stitches gap and some with only 8 stitches gap. One glance it really does not make a different.
Start by making double crochet on in the next 4 stitches. On the 4th double crochet we build a flower. Chain 4 and single crochet onto the double crochet stitch. Do another double crochet on the same stitch as the double crochet before. Chain 4 and single crochet onto the double crochet stitch. Repeat until you have 10 of it.
Bend the flower down (refer to video above) Now remove the hook and placed it on the 1st double crochet that has a chain 4 on it. Joint it with the last flower double crochet stich with a slip stitch and chain 1. Continue to do double crochet on the next 8 or 9 stitches and build another flower.
