Then perform another 7 decreases (81-93rd p.) along the right edge according to the diagram, they are highlighted in gray; Along the left edge, knit in a mirror image; for this, in the last repeat before the edge, instead of the 2 stitches highlighted in gray, knitted together with a tilt to the left, knit 2 stitches together with the front one.
