On next row dec 1 st to the right of all markers (by skipping 1 dc before marker). Repeat the dec on every row from RS a total of 9 times, to the left and to the right of markers alternately. When all dec are complete there are 87-96-105-114 dc left on row. Work 2 rows with 1 dc in each dc, cut and fasten the thread.

LEFT FRONT BAND: Work approx 55 to 67 dc along front piece – approx 3 dc in each ch-loop and 2 dc per 3 rows with dc. Make sure the edge doesn’t become too tight nor too loose! Now work 4 rows with 1 dc in each dc.

RIGHT FRONT BAND: Like left front band, but after 2 rows crochet 2 buttonholes. 1 buttonhole = 3 ch, skip 3 dc, on next row work 3 dc in ch-loop. Place the top buttonhole approx 2 cm from the top and the next 6 cm below the first one. Sew on buttons.
