Let me work through this step by step.

Given information:
- A robe takes 2 bolts of blue fiber
- It takes half that much white fiber

Step 1: Determine the amount of blue fiber needed.
Blue fiber = 2 bolts

Step 2: Calculate the amount of white fiber needed.
White fiber = half of the blue fiber amount
White fiber = ½ × 2 bolts = 1 bolt

Step 3: Calculate the total fiber needed.
Total bolts = Blue fiber + White fiber
Total bolts = 2 + 1 = 3 bolts

Therefore, the robe takes 3 bolts in total.

\boxed{3}
