In 55 cm, decrease 7 x 4 sts and 3 x 3 sts (7 x 5 sts, 2 x 4 sts, 1 x 2 sts) from both sides in RS row for shoulder chamfers = decrease 37 (45) sts of each shoulder. Bind off the rest 23 sts for neck-hole.

Front

Make in the same way as back, but in 45 cm from the beginning of work, double the central st = 49 (57) sts from both sides and make each half separately, after that, decrease 12 x 1 st in every 4^th row. At 55 cm height from the beginning of work, make shoulder chamfers in the same way as for back. At 70 cm height, bind off all sts.
