Start with 1 selvage st and sts from arrow A, pattern repeat x 3 (4) times, finish with sts before arrow B and 1 selvage st. For chamfers, increase 3 x 1 st in every 4^th row from both sides in 38,5 cm = 104 rows from placket and 7 x 1 st in every 2^nd row, include the increased sts in the pattern = 79 (93) sts. In 49 cm = 132 rows from placket, bind off the sts due to the pattern.

Transfer the previously left 178 (206) sts of front and back to the circular knitting needles 5 and add 1 (2) central sts of sleeves = 180 (210) sts. Then, make 2 rnds of stockinette stitch and continue work with rib. In 30 cm from the beginning of collar, bind off all the sts loosely due to the pattern. Make side and sleeve seams.
