Bback in the 80s I had a pattern for a bolero, I suppose you would call it a shrug now. It was very easy and knitted all in one piece; just the side seams to join at the end. It had little cap sleeves & was ideal for a cover up for a strappy dress. I remember it was using chunky wool on big needles and could be made in a couple of evenings. Have looked online endlessly and not found it. So many are that odd shape with drooping long corners hanging down and they don't suit me. I wish I could find my pattern- does anyone have anything similar?

Have you tried ebay mm? There are a number of sellers who specialise in selling copies of vintage patterns.

You could try contacting one of the editors of "Womens Weekly". Their knitting patterns were always reliable. Happy hunting!

www.ebid.net is a brilliant UK auction site where many sellers have vintage patterns (including me i must admit) I'll look through my collection and see if there is anything similar
