Then, allocate the sts in the following way: 17; 21; 20; 25; 25; 31 knit sts, 3 purls, * A.1 pattern (= 18; 18; 22; 22; 26; 26 sts), 6 purls*; repeat from * to * one more time, A.1 pattern, 3 purls, 34; 42; 40; 50; 50; 62 knit sts, 3 purls, * A.1 pattern, 6 purls*; repeat from * to * one more time, A.1 pattern, 3 purls, 17; 21; 20; 25; 25; 31 knit sts.

Place one marker in the beginning of row and one more in 106; 114; 124; 134; 146; 158 sts. This way we mark the side lines.

Knit 8 cm due to this scheme, then decrease 1 st from both sides of marker. In row - minus 4 sts. Repeat decreases every 4,5 cm 7 times for all sizes. You should get 184; 200; 220; 240; 264; 288 sts.
