The ANINDA bolero has a very loose and casual fit. It is worked seamlessly across from the left sleeve to the right sleeve. The sleeves are knitted in the round, the back and front pieces in rows.

The left sleeve begins with a ribbed cuff, then continues in stockinette stitch, gradually increasing. The work is then divided and continued in rows up to the neckline. A sloping edge is worked on the underside of the front parts for the typical bolero shape. At the beginning of the neckline the stitches of the front part are cast off and cast on again at the end of the neckline. The second half of the bolero is worked in the opposite way. Finally, the border of the neckline is edged with a narrow ribbed trim.

The unusual combination of the two yarns, a fluffy mohair yarn and a linen nettle yarn give the bolero a wonderful structure.
