For this, decrease 17 x 1 st in every 4th row = 64 sts. In 3 pattern repeats or in 67 cm from the set-up row, start making arm-holes and work with main pattern, increase 3 sts in this 1st row. For arm-holes, bind off 7 (6) sts from both sides = 53 (55) sts. Then, knit straight for 20 (22) cm. After that, bind off 1 x 5 sts and 1 x 4 (2 x 5) sts in every 2nd row from outer edge for shoulder chamfers. In 90 (92) cm from the set-up row, bind off the rest 35 sts.
