In 13 (14) 15 cm = 30 (32) 34 rows from the beginning of raglan chamfers, bind off the rest 20 (22) 20 sts.
Front
Make in the same way, as back, but make “fox” motif due to the scheme, start it in 16 (18) 20 rows from rib. In 31 (33) 35 cm = 72 (76) 80 rows from rib, bind off the central 10 (12) 12 sts for neck-hole and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 3 x 1 st in every 2nd row from inwards. At 40 (42) 44 cm height from the lower edge, bind off the rest 2 sts. Make the second half in reflection.
