Gráfico 2 (Chart 2 - Separating armholes from the base)

Special note: If you want to make more rows (for bigger sizes) and
start separting the armholes later, it is totally okay! Just do it and feel
free to add as many rows as you need. Remember it is very important
to measure and check if fits correctly at this point.
For size S I used 4 markers (or 4 yarn scraps of random colors) and I
counted the amount of 28 stitches spaces in each extremity of this
piece. Put your yarn color Cardo and crochet 12 chains connecting
front and back. Do the same process on the other side as you can seem
in Chart 2 or the support video. Watch it if you have any doubt!
