Note: Each decrease in the lace pattern must be paired with a yarn over to maintain the number of sts. If you can't work both the decrease and the yo, knit the sts instead. When the armhole measures 17(18)19(20)20(21) cm, bind off the middle 41 sts for the neckline. Work one side at a time. On every other row bind off 2x2 sts at the neckline edge. When the armhole measures 19(20)21(22)22(23) cm, bind off the 20(22)23(29)31(33) shoulder sts.
