Instructions:

Cast on 143 sts (1^st row) and make 5 rows of garter stitch. Then, continue work with relief pattern; for this, repeat the pattern x 10 times after the selvage st and finish with 1 st and selvage st.

When total length is 67 cm, bind off the central 16 sts for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately.
