In 15 cm from set-up row, work in the following way: 1 selvedge st, the last 7 sts of pattern repeat, pattern repeat, finish with the first 8 sts of pattern repeat and 1 selvedge st. In 8 cm from rib, increase 1 st from both sides for sleeve chamfers, 3 x 1 st in every 4th row, 11 x 1 st in every 2nd row = 71 sts, include the increased sts in the pattern.
