drop-shoulder construction is worked with CYC #5 bulky yarn, making it a

half-double-crochet fabric gives this cozy cardigan a soft knit-look finish
while remaining completely crocheted.

GAUGE

9 half double crochet stitches x 7 rows = 4 x 4 in / 10 x 10 cm.

Making and blocking a gauge swatch before beginning is strongly recommended.
Matching gauge helps the finished bolero fit as intended and keeps yarn usage
close to the estimates.
