Repeat 7 rows of fancy pattern 3 times, then make rows 1^st to 6^th. Make 7 rows of fancy pattern 4 times, then make rows 1^st to 2^nd. Make 7 rows of fancy pattern 4 times, then make rows 1^st to 6^th. In 33 cm = 27 rows (36.5 cm = 30 rows) 42.5 cm = 34 rows from the set-up row, finish your work, and place a marker after the 116^th stitch (118^th stitch) or 120^th stitch from the right side to make the seam in the center of the back. Make the second detail symmetrically, placing a marker after the 116^th (118^th) or 120^th stitches from the left side.
