Circle your work in the ring and mark the turn to another circle row = left side line. Work with main pattern with circle rows. In 35 (36) cm from the set-up row = 120 (124) rows of main pattern, divide your work in half = 82 (90) sts. After that, work separately, bind off 1 x 5 sts for raglan, then, 4 x 1 st in every 2nd row. Put off the rest 64 (72) sts of back and front.
