In 15,5 cm = 40 rows from rib, cast on 24 sts for sleeves from both sides = 126 sts and include them in the pattern. At the same time with the beginning of sleeves, work with shorten rows: * 2 rows on all the sts, 2 rows of the central 102 sts, 2 rows on all the sts, 2 rows on the central 78 sts*; repeat from * to * x 10 times, then, make 2 rows of wrong-side pattern on all the sts. In 50 cm = 130 rows from rib or at 17,5 cm = 46 rows of sleeves height, leave all the sts, the central 46 sts form neck-hole, the outer 40 sts from each side – shoulders/sleeves.
