I have now tried about six times to download this pattern. When I click the link, all I get is another website with more links, but no pattern. My computer does say that the bustingstitches.com website is not secure, so maybe that's why. Nevertheless it is very frustrating and I see others had the same problem

Hi faywoolfield 76019 91, I'm sorry for the inconvenience. Unfortunately, this blog is no longer available, but I have updated the link to an archived version of the webpage. You will need to select a size, and then the written instructions will be available. I hope this helps, and sorry again for the inconvenience! - Laura, editor of AllFreeCrochet

What is the gauge or the finished measurements? I'm usually a L/XL, but as a busty girl I sometimes have to go higher.

This is one of the best patterns I have found recently. It's easy , very pretty and comes in sizes all the way up to 5x. I have friends in all shapes and sizes so this is perfect. I don't have to try to modify the pattern. All I need to do is change the color!

This is definitely one of the prettiest and, surprisingly, easiest bolero patterns that I have seen. It works every time. I have made seven of them in different colours and yarns and the pattern has never let me down. And wearing the boleros is a dream as they add a pop of contrasting colour and panache to any outfit.

Beautiful Pattern, But, I am not going to download a bunch of crap to get the pattern. That is called blackmail, because it is not free in this case. I have been hunting a pattern similar to tis for weeks, but so be it.
