At the same time, make decreases for waist: 1 st x 8 from both sides in every 20th row. Then, knit 10 rows straight.

Decrease 4 sts from both sides in the next row for forming arm-holes.

Decrease 2 sts x 10 in every even row. Turn to 1 x 1 rib for 6 rows. Bind off the sts.

Then, cast on 90 sts on the previous sts with double pointed knitting needles, saving the cable on the arm-hole.
