In the 1st row we enter the hook into 32 loops (4 loops from the hook) and knit a column with 1 double crochet. Do the same with the previous loop. Then we hook on 2 air loops, skip 2 loops of the 1st row, knit 3 columns with 1 nakid in the next 3 air loops. We got rapport. Repeat this step until the end of the series (should be 5 repetitions).
At the beginning 2nd row we collect 5 air loops. Knit 3 columns, pulling the hook under the arch between the 2 columns of the previous row.
We collect 2 air loops, in the next arch we knit 3 columns. We knit this way, repeating rapport, until the end of the last loop of the series (4 repetitions). We collect 2 air loops, 1 column in the last loop.

We form a strap: we collect 107 loops. Lower the chain down and connect to the lower corner connecting column. We knit the bottom of the bolero with a semi-column to go to another corner. We collect 107 loops and also connect them to the lower corner with a semi-column. It turned out a rectangle with 2 straps.
We tie straps and the lower part of the bolero, moving from right to left: we collect 5 air loops, we knit 3 columns in the arch, 2 loops, 3 columns in the arch - 2 loops / 3 columns are repeated until the end of the row. On the straps after 3 columns, type 2 loops, skip 2 loops and knit 3 columns again. We finish the row with a semi-column, pulling the hook into the 1st air loop of the beginning of the row.
