The Shrug

I have black yarn with sequins. I need a little black bolero. The v-neck kind, with short sleeves.

I searched my 30-some-odd magazines. I searched Ravelry. I looked in my books. I can't find the perfect pattern. Considering my track-record with finishing things I design myself, I'm a little hesitant. Do I settle for not-the-perfect-pattern? Do I try to invent as I go (and will probably have to frog it all)? Do I take not-the-perfect-pattern and try to make alterations? Eeeeeeeeeeek!!
