Have you seen the movie Bright Star? Put the pattern down right this minute and go find yourself a copy. Poet John Keats and his beloved Fanny Brawne, who he called a "minx" in correspondence (see the letter reproduced at the end of this pattern) are the perfect thing to watch while you knit, especially when Fanny is whipping up some fashionable attire in her room, something for which she was well known. This bolero looks like something she'd have worn.

You can choose either a printed copy of the pattern, professionally printed on glossy paper or a digital download (PDF). If you would like a printed copy please let us know during checkout. If you are a guild member, own a yarn shop or would like to order copies in bulk for a knit-along, please email us at [email protected]
