Make 2 rows and make first cables interweaving in the next row.

In 10 cm from the set-up row, decrease 2 sts in the stripe of 12 sts of fancy pattern at the same time as cables interweaving, for this, make the last st of cable together with the 1^st st of fancy pattern in the end of stripe and make the last st of fancy pattern together with the 1^st st of cable.

Make such decreases x 6 times.

After that, make decreases in the stripes of 12 purls and 11 sts of fancy pattern.

In 45 cm = 74 sts, make extra rows with cables interweaving in the stripes of fancy pattern, i.e. in every 8 rows.
