Instructions
Back
Cast on 108 (118) 128 sts with knitting needles 4 and make 3 rows of garter stitch, then, work with stockinette stitch with knitting needles 4,5. In 32 cm from the set-up row, decrease 16 (17) 18 sts = 92 (101) 110 sts, make the next RS row with relief pattern and divide sts in the following way: 1 selvage st, 10 (11) 12 pattern repeats, 1 selvage st. For side chamfers, increase 1 x 1 st in the next 7th row from both sides, then, bind off 1 x 1 st in the next 6th row = 96 (105) 114 sts. Make increased sts as stockinette stitch. In 39 cm from the set-up row, mark the beginning of arm-holes from both sides. In 20 (21) 22 cm from marks, bind off 1 x 4 (4) 5 sts, then, bind off 4 x 4 sts and 2 x 5 sts in every 2nd row (6 x 5 sts in every 2nd row) 2 x 5 sts and 4 x 6 sts in every 2nd row. In 62 (63) 64 cm from the set-up row, bind off the central 26 (27) 26 sts, then, decrease 1 x 3 sts and 1 x 2 sts in every 2nd row.

For chamfers, increase 1 x 1 st in the 25th row from the beginning of stockinette stitch, then, bind off 6 x 1 st in every 6th row (4 x 1 st in every 6th row, 10 x 1 st in every 4th row) 16 x 1 st in every 4th row = 88 (92) 98 sts. In 30 cm from the set-up row, bind off 1 x 10 (19) 11 sts, then, bind off 3 x 9 sts (2 x 10 sts and 1 x 9 sts) 1 x 11 sts and 2 x 10 sts in every 2nd row. Bind off the rest 14 sts in 33 cm from the set-up row.
