Knit 31 rows straight.
Neckline: place the centre 18 sts on hold.
Work each shoulder separately for 8 rows, decreasing 1 st at the neck edge on every even row (21 sts remain per shoulder).

Take the remaining 70 sts and decrease 1 st at each edge on row 1 (68 sts remain).
Knit 37 rows straight.
Place the centre 26 sts on hold and knit 2 more rows on each shoulder.
Join the front and back shoulder stitches (21 sts each) with a 3-needle bind-off.
