Instructions

Make 113 (127) 141 chain sts + 3 chain sts increase and work with the main pattern. In 31 cm from the set-up row, leave 10 (17) 17 sts from both sides for arm-holes. In 39 (41) 43 cm from the set-up row, leave the central 15 (15) 21 sts and finish both sides separately. For smooth rounding, bind off 1 x 3 sts, 8 x 2 sts in every circle row.
