Front

At 36 cm height, bind off 1 x 2 sts and 2 x 1 st in every 2^nd row from both sides for arm-holes = 35 sts. At 53 cm height, bind off the central 5 sts for the neck-hole and finish both sides separately, for smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 2 sts and 3 x 1 st in every 2^nd row. At 21 cm height of arm-holes, bind off 2 x 3 sts and 1 x 4 sts in every 2^nd row for shoulder chamfers.

Back

Make in the same way, as back, but bind off the central 11 sts at 57 cm height with the beginning of shoulder chamfers and then bind off 1 x 2 sts in the next 2^nd row from inwards.

Sleeves

Cast on 25 sts and make 1 WS row with knit sts, then, work with striped pattern. Repeat the pattern x twice after 1 selvage st, finish with 5 sts after pattern repeat and 1 selvage st. For sleeve chamfers, increase 3 x 1 st in every 16^th row from both sides and make them with stockinette stitch. At 43 cm height, continue work upon both strips of crossed sts with stockinette stitch. At 43 cm height, bind off 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 2 sts in every 2^nd row from both sides for sleeve caps, 3 x 1 st in every 4^th row, 1 x 2 sts and 1 x 3 sts in every 2^nd row, then, bind off the rest 5 sts.
