In 21 cm = 38 rows from rib, increase 1 st from both sides for sleeves and 5 x 1 st in every 2^nd row = 86 (100) sts, including these sts in the pattern. In 49 cm = 88 rows (53.5 cm = 96 rows) from rib, bind off 2 sts from both sides for shoulder chamfers and 7 x 2 (3) sts in every 2^nd row. In 58 cm = 104 rows (62.5 cm = 112 rows) from rib, bind off 2 sts from both sides for shoulders and leave the central 50 sts for the neck-hole.
