Crochet Cape, Flower Trim, Anne Cabot 2227

Mail Order 2227 : This pattern contains directions to crochet the bolero shown. This is an enchanting piece; a bolero with a large cape attached that ends in flower trim. There are actually two different flowers in the trim. For further delight, beads and sequins are used to adorn the flowers. Note: There are no size guidelines stated in the documents. I would suggest that sizing would fit misses 12 to 18 - the standard size range for patterns in this age group - 1954.

This is a mail order pattern purchased through newspapers and catalogs.  The pattern was marketed as Anne Cabot 2227.  The newspaper description:  "Crochet this pretty cape bolero from soft white yarn (or your favorite color) to wear over the summer frocks, or in the evening to ward off chilly breezes".

Materials:   8 skeins Sock and Sweater yarn, 3 ply, (1 oz.) in white;   Plastic crochet hook No.3;   A string of small pearls; a string of silver sequins; a string of small beads.
