At 71 cm from the placket, finish your work on the remaining sts (neck-hole placket). Create the left front on the first 28 (33.5) cm and at 67 cm from the placket, leave 18 (23.5) cm for the shoulder from the right side. Finish your work at the height of the back on the remaining sts. Complete the right front in symmetry to the left front over the last 28 (33.5) cm.
