By making this longer you have the perfect beach cover up. I love it. Thank you!!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Glad you like it Holly, a great idea! Thank you, Anja x

[@kimelaineganey5542]

Too gorgeous!❤ I just couldn't resist this one, Anja. It's gonna be my 4th WIP. Good times!!!! Lol.😂😂😂

[@OpheliaTalks]

Have fun Kim, thanks, Anja x

[@andreaford4414]

This just popped up on my notification. I am going to make this as soon as I am done with my other project. Can’t wait. I just love your patterns Anja.

[@audreycastelton2655]

14 seconds from notification! Cant wait to watch this tutorial. So versatile. Already picked my colour. Thank you for sharing ❤

[@kalenreichert]

This is such a beautiful pattern! Makes a beautiful and breezy popover top, perfect for the Summer but I could also see myself using it as a layering piece over dresses and long sleeve tops in the cooler seasons, too. Perhaps in a sparkly metallic yarn for the festive seasons, too!

[@OpheliaTalks]

I think it’s such a versatile item, and oh yes it would look fabulous in a sparkly yarn too. The possibilities are endless! Anja x

[@lindahancik-gc4tm]

Absolutely beautiful! I am fairly new at crocheting. I believe with your instructions I will be able to do this. ❤ I am absolutely grateful for you and your support. When I ordered from your shop I am amazed at the delivery time being so quickly.

Hello, I read your comment on the size of your bolero. I’m having trouble figuring out sizes. How did you figure out size large?

[@kandybowden8444]

[@joaniejohnson3346]

Me too. I’m trying to figure up my width. I wear a US XL T-shirt. I’m wondering if I want a tshirt fit? Or a little baggier. I’m not into wearing off-shoulder. 😂

[@carolet662]

@@joaniejohnson3346 me either, I think I will go a bit baggy and close the neck a little so it’s not off the shoulder 🥰

You're welcome, are you going to make one or maybe two? Anja x

[@pushpakishore6983]

Thanx.Made one panel n now on another one...

[@OpheliaTalks]

Great 👍 thank you for making my project, Anja.

[@lindaclark6641]

This is beautiful. I will make it large & wonder how many starting chain to do 😊

[@OpheliaTalks]

Linda, you need to measure from elbow to elbow, with arms out to the sides, then using the stitch multiples you can work out how many repeats you'll need for your size, if you want it longer, then do more rows! I hope this helps, Anja x

[@lindaclark6641]

@@OpheliaTalks thank you so much Anja ♥️

[@pushpakishore6983]

Done it..tx

[@OpheliaTalks]

Well done, Anja x

[@kathievalentine607]

I love this pattern. Has anyone made it using varigated yarn? I don't have any solid color cotton yarn right now, and I was wondering how it would look

[@OpheliaTalks]

I have not made it in a variegated yarn, but I would imagine it would be lovely Kathie, thank you, Anja x

[@nsquared99]

Could this be made in acrylic only? I'm trying to use my stash!

[@OpheliaTalks]

Why not give it a go?

[@tamarkohnmarks5394]

I just bought the pattern. Can I use Mandala Lion brand yarn light 3 ?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Yes that should be fine @tamarkohnmarks5394, thank you for your purchase, Anja x

[@aeverdream2]

Dear Anja, if I used a lighter weight yarn, how many chains should I do?

[@OpheliaTalks]

Measure from elbow to elbow, with arms out to the sides, then using the stitch multiples you can work out how many repeats you'll need for your size, if you want it longer, then do more rows! I hope this helps aeverdream2, thank you, Anja x

[@aeverdream2]

@@OpheliaTalks thank you 🩷

[@carolhall2067]

I must be doing something wrong - if I do row 5 then a row 3 then 4 which is shell row my shells come out on alternate ‘right ‘ side facing should I do 3 rows of loops between shell rows?

[@OpheliaTalks]

No the shells are facing alternate ways, I just said they were but got it wrong, good spot! Anja x

[@carolhall2067]

@@OpheliaTalks thank you! I thought I was doing it wrong but couldn’t work out where 😂

[@kimberlyaustin6677]

I am making this now. It's perfect for the cotton yarn I got a year ago. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but every other row of shells shows the back of the stitches? 😮 Help, anyone?

[@kalenreichert]

That’s how mine is, too. I don’t mind, though. You’d have to be right up on it to tell.

[@OpheliaTalks]

This is fine!

[@olivecuencohernandez112]

Hello, I tried to buy the blush Wendy supreme DK yarn which you used in your pixie bolero but it would not change to United State s after I put my address.

[@OpheliaTalks]

Hi could you please email us about this and we will get back to you as soon as possible. [e-mail] is our contact email. Thanks Anja x

[@marymihai1403]

Please Anya,how many chains for size S?😊

[@OpheliaTalks]

I’m sorry I can’t tell you how many chains, I would suggest getting a garment you already wear, making a chain with the multiples stated in the video and laying the chain on top of the garment, Hope this helps, Anja x

[@marymihai1403]

@@OpheliaTalksthank you for your answer!

[@laurieravenhorst7452]

Anyone know what chain length I would use for XL?

[@OpheliaTalks]

I tell you the multiples in the video, I would suggest making a chain using the multiple and perhaps laying it against something you may have already that is the same size, good luck and thanks for watching, Anja x

[@lynnepernick2658]

Does anyone know what the starting chain should be for a size small I can’t seem to figure that out correctly

[@OpheliaTalks]

As mentioned in the video the multiple is 12 + 3, if you have a garment the same width as you want to create I suggest making you chain in multiples of 12 and comparing the length. Good luck Anja x

[@beckyramos5952]

I did 111 single crochet instead of 123. That gave me 28 shells. Hope this gives you idea.
