Bolero Knitting Pattern

Good evening, everyone! I just saw this beautiful bolero on Facebook. It’s crocheted, and there is a crochet pattern available. My question is: are there any knitting patterns for this bolero here, or is there any way to knit it instead?

Hi mara_slie2,

are you interested in the shape of the bolero or the (lace) pattern?
For the shape, I recommend taking a close look at the original pattern; there you’ll see which direction the crocheting was done in, and you can generally apply that to knitting.
If you’re interested in the pattern, you can knit a gauge swatch ...
You can experiment with different options ...
e.g. knit 2 stitches together, 1 yarn over ... this results in a relatively small lace pattern
knit 3 stitches together, 2 yarn overs — on the wrong side row, knit the yarn overs as 2 stitches, forming the stitch once from the front and once from the back ... this should make the holes a bit larger ...
or use different needle sizes for the right-side and wrong-side rows ...

I’m not sure to what extent it’s allowed here to link to other websites that offer knitting and crochet patterns.
I personally find a lot of (free) patterns on ravelry.com ... it’s in English, but there’s a forum where you can get help with translations — at least for parts of it.

-> Admin: If that’s not allowed, please delete the link :)

Sunny regards
Dagmar
