In 28 cm = 70 rows from the set-up row, make marked decreases for better fitting 1 x 1 st from both sides for better fitting, then, bind off 2 x 1 st in every 6^th row and 11 x 1 st in every 4^th row = 81 sts. In 52 cm = 130 rows from the set-up row, increase 1 x 1 st from both sides in the following way: after or before selvage st from cross thread, make 1 cross st due to the pattern. Make increases x 8 times more in every 4^th row and x 5 times in every 2^nd row. In 69,5 cm = 174 rows from the set-up row, there are 109 sts on the knitting needles.
