Start off by making measurements on the person or your body
to find out how many inches you will need to make this bolero. First place end
of tape on themiddle back of your neck
then lay the tape over a shoulder bring around the back up under the other arm
and over the should to meet back at the middle back of neck. This is your trim
number, add 2 inches to this number.
Next you need to know the length of your center back. Place the measuring tape
on the center back of your neck and mark where the tape is at the middle of
your back. This is your back panel measurement. Add 2 inches to that number.

Note: I took the Starbella yarn and cut the netting down to
where there is only 1 loop above the trim, it is only 7.5 yards so it isn't
that bad to cut the chuck of netting off. Cut where the yellow marks are.

Follow the video below for the decrease section as to what you are doing.
Brim: 44 or 36 peg loom: Circular:
Place original cast on loops back on the pegs then work the
startbella yarn like a ruffle scarf but your ruffle section will be inside the
loom rather than outside. Just toss the loops over until you use up all the 7.5
yards. Then Loosely Cast Off your hat. Your done. You don't need to really hide
anything because of how the ruffles bunch up at the base when you wear it.
Follow the video below to show how to add your cast on loops back onto the pegs.
This video generally shows how to go about working the fur yarn on your loom, but instead of working flat your are working circular which is pretty easy. Cast off with a loose cast off.
