<!-- imported from openai/gsm8k (test) -->

1.  **Determine the amount of blue fiber:**
    The problem states that the robe takes 2 bolts of blue fiber.
    Blue fiber = 2 bolts.

2.  **Determine the amount of white fiber:**
    The problem states that the robe takes half that much white fiber. "That much" refers to the amount of blue fiber (2 bolts).
    White fiber = $\frac{1}{2} \times 2$ bolts = 1 bolt.

3.  **Calculate the total amount of fiber:**
    To find the total number of bolts, add the blue fiber and the white fiber together.
    Total bolts = Blue fiber + White fiber
    Total bolts = 2 + 1 = 3 bolts.

\boxed{3}
