Before: knit like a back, but after the elastic on the middle loop, start an openwork pattern. From 1st to 38th r. knit as indicated, then from the 39th r. knit another 6 (7/8) “leaves” on both sides at the same distance as the outer “leaves” shown in the diagram.

For the next rows of “leaves”, knit another 6 (7/8) “leaves” in the same way to the side edges, continue the inclined openwork stripes to the side edges.

Then, as described for the front, move the “leaves” on both sides to the outer edges and continue the inclined openwork stripes. At the same time, for bevels, add on both sides alternately in every 4th and 6th row. 10 times 1 p., then in every 4th r. 18 times 1 p. = 121 (125/131) p.
