Free Knitting Pattern Daisy Bolero – DAISY is a lightweight lace bolero designed to add softness, shimmer, and quiet drama to an autumn or winter wardrobe.

The garment begins as a simple rectangle, knitted from the bottom up, then subtly transformed through thoughtful finishing into a refined bolero shape. Clean I-cord edges frame the piece, giving structure and polish while allowing the lace to remain the focus.
The fabric is worked holding two yarns together: a delicate kid mohair and silk blend paired with a fine strand of sequined yarn. The result is airy and translucent, with a gentle halo and a restrained sparkle that catches the light without overwhelming the lace pattern.

The stitch work is rhythmic and architectural rather than fussy. Repeated lace motifs create movement across the surface, while garter stitch sections anchor the design and prevent curling. The lace instructions are provided both charted and written, making the pattern adaptable to different working styles.
DAISY is designed to be worn lightly over dresses or sleeveless tops—an elegant layer that feels modern, feminine, and intentional. It’s a piece that looks intricate, yet is built from a clear, repeatable structure.
Soft. Graphic. Effortless.
