It is based on the 'Cloud Bolero' by Ysolde Teague, published in 'Yarn Forward' magazine, which is a free pattern. I modified the original pattern to lengthen it and add 4 rows to the sleeves. I did a plain cast off not the picot cast off. My changes to the pattern and the method I followed are in fuchsia pink. (NB: If you are following my pattern, then omit anything which is in black text and is highlighted in blue)
I knitted the medium size and made two vests - one with Cleckheaton Vintage Twist and the other with Cleckheaton Country Silk 8 ply knitted on 8 mm circular needles. They look awesome over jeans, and a tight long-sleeved knit or T-shirt.

For the best results we recommend that you choose your size based on your
high bust measurement (measured directly under your armpits) rather than
your actual bust measurement.
At the most appropriate point for your size you will be directed to try
on the bolero. The sizing on this pattern is very simple and is designed
to be knitted to fit. The sizes are just used as a guide to when you should
try it on to check the fit, so don’t stress too much over selecting
the correct size initially.
When directed to try on the bolero slip all sts onto scrap yarn without
removing any markers. Drape around your shoulders and if the fronts meet
and there is no more than a 7.5cm (3”) gap at the underarms then
it is large enough. If it is too small follow the directions for the next
largest size before moving on to the next section. If it is too big, simply
rip out the last four rows before moving onto the next section.

Two
different styles or colours of stitch markers are required. These are
referred to in the directions as marker A and marker B, so that the abbreviation
‘pmA’ requires you to place an A marker in that position,
etc. A markers are used to mark the position of the raglan increases and
B markers are used to mark the beginning of lace repeats, which avoids
headache inducing amounts of stitch counting.

Section 2 (all sizes):
Row 1 (RS) ie Row 38 in my pattern: remove all B markers as you come to them: k to 1st marker A,
remove marker, cast off 3, (sl st on right needle back onto left needle,
cast on 2, cast off 5), repeat until less than 3 sts remain before next
marker A, sl st on right needle back onto left needle, cast on 2, cast
off (NB: The preceding text highlighted in blue pertains to the picot edging
which I did not do. Here is what I did instead): Transfer all sleeve sts before
marker A onto scrap yarn, remove marker A, k to nextmarker A, slm,
cast off 3, (sl st on right needle back onto left needle,
cast on 2, cast off 5,) repeat until less than 3 sts remain before next
marker A, sl st on right needle back onto left needle, cast on 2, cast
off remaining sts before next marker A, remove marker A, cast off 1,
marker A, sl st on right needle back onto left needle, cast on 2, cast
off remaining sts before next marker A, remove marker A, cast off 1,
(NB: The preceding text highlighted in blue pertains to the picot edging
which I did not do. Here is what I did instead): Transfer all sleeve sts before
marker A onto scrap yarn, remove marker A, k to end.
You should now have the left front, the back, and the right front all still
on the needles with the sleeve sts between them bound off with a picot
bind off (NB: If you are following my pattern, then omit the text which is
on the needles with the sleeve sts between them bound off with a picot
bind off (NB: If you are following my pattern, then omit the text which is
highlighted in blue) transferred onto scrap yarn. In the next row you are going to
bridge the underarm gap between the front and back sections by working
up to the gap, casting on 12 or 14 sts, and then working across the next section.
