Note
This is a bolero worked from the top down. Worked flat using two-color brioche, the piece begins with increases for the sleeves and back raglan. The sleeves are then worked in the round. Stitches are picked up along the neckline, armholes, and hem, and finished with an I-Cord Bind Off.

In two-color brioche, each row is worked twice—once with each color. For RS rows, work across with Yarn A, then slide the stitches to the other end of the needle and work the RS row again with Yarn B. In flat knitting, turn the work and work across WS rows with Yarn A, then slide the stitches to the other end of the needle and work the WS row again with Yarn B. The color to be used is written in each row count. A Sl1YO counts as a single stitch. One row consists of working once with Yarn A and once with Yarn B.
When choosing a size, halve your bust measurement (nude size) and select the closest size.
