This bolero is knitted from the top (neck) to the bottom (back). It is seamless, so front, sleeves and back are knitted together in one piece. It is not a pattern for beginners but it isn’t too difficult and it is really fast to knit.

It isn’t included in written pattern but I recommend to make a slip stitch edge - on every row: Slip the first stitch purlwise, work to the last stitch, knit the last stitch. This forms an attractive chain up the edge of your knitting.

The part of pattern that is written in italics is the part that describe the sleeves. Also the chart part is the part that describe the lacy sleeves.
