In 32 cm from the set-up row, decrease 16 (17) 18 sts = 92 (101) 110 sts. Work with relief pattern in the next WS row and work in the following way: 1 selvage st, 10 (11) 12 pattern repeats, 1 selvage st. For side chamfers, increase 1 x 1 st from both sides in the next 7th row, then, 1 x 1 st in the next 6th row = 96 (105) 114 sts. Make increased sts as stockinette stitch. In 39 cm from the set-up row, mark arm-holes from both sides.
