In line 10, 1 stitch is added from both sides, in every 8th row 2 x 1 stitch and in every 6th row 8 x 1 stitch = 66 (70) mesh. The added stitches will be included in the knitting of the patterns.
After 42 cm = 110 rows from the first row, it is mounted on Andrea from both sides, for the back and front, 10 stitches each, then in every 2nd row 2 x 10 stitches = 126 (130) mesh.
