Ohhh, got it. Thanks for explaining it 
If you see an error in the colour pattern you can go back and change it now.
If you want to make the neckband in white then the cast on stitches in white is going to go very well.

Alright, thank you very much 
Guys, after casting on new stitches, what should I do next?
Place your markers in the correct places to keep your pattern aligned. From salmonmacs lovely stitch counting pic it looks like you get up to stitch 6 on the last repeat. Remember when knitting the wrong side row to folow the chart from the correct stitch. The right side row is easier as you just run out of stitches.
Then complete chart A1 across all stitches until youve worked the last row on the chart.
The next part in the pattern moves on to A3 chart.
A1 also applies into new stitches, right?
Yes, its in the pattern, here
work the increased stitches in the pattern. At the end of next row from right side cast on 13-13-13-17-17-17 new stitches = 59-63-67-71-79-87 stitches. Work A.1 with 1 edge stitch in garter stitch in each side. Make sure that the pattern fits the established pattern, the pattern will not fit one whole repetition towards mid front, but will fit towards the side.
When A.1 has been worked 1 time vertically, continue as follows

Okayyy. Thanksss
“When piece measures 23 cm, insert 1 marker at the end of row from right side, make sure that this is the same row as on back piece”
Guys, how to do this?
And
“Continue A.3 and cast off at the beginning of every row from right side as follows: 2 stitches 1 time, and 1 stitch 3 times = 66 stitches”
At this time, cast off reduced 5 stitches, not 10 as before. How to do this?
The pattern really just wants you to place a marker or waste yarn loop at the 23cm point. This marks the bottom of the armhole at the underarm. See the pattern schematic at the bottom of the pattern. Insert the marker at the armhole edge of the right front (not at the neck edge).
Cast off at the beginning of the right side (RS) rows (the beginning of the knit rows) 2sts, then 1stitch, 1stitch and 1stitch. So if you call the first cast off row, row 1 then you would cast off 2sts at the beginning of row 1, one stitch at the beginning of row 3, one stitch beginning of row 5 and one stitch beginning of row 7.

Guys, after I finished the cast off and finished the wrong side, the pattern said “fasten off”. What does “fasten off” mean here? Because later this piece will also be worked on again for the body, and it’s a bit strange if the fasten off is done now.
Looks like a mistake in the pattern. It likely means to cut the yarn strand leaving about a 6 inch tail to weave in later. The sts can go on hold while you work the left front. Once that’s finished you’ll join the left front, back and then right front sts to work the body of the cardigan.
(Fasten off is usually used when there is a singe stitch left on the needle and the yarn strand is cut and pulled through the stitch.)

Hi, in fact you will cut the yarn and you can already fasten it / weave the ends as you put it aside and you work now left front piece then all pieces together. Hope it can help. Happy knitting!

I think it would be clearer if it was worded like the other pieces which are put aside.
Others can see the question and answer though if they are confused.

Thank you so much!!
Now I’m going to work on body. Should I sew parts together or not? And if it’s not, how to work each others at the same needle?
“Work over the 66 stitches from left front piece (continue A.5 as before as far as the pattern), work the next 129stitches from back piece (continue pattern as shown in A.2, make sure that the pattern fits the established pattern), work over the 66 stitches from right front piece (continue A.5 the same way as before). There are now 261 stitches on needle. Continue back and forth with pattern and 1 edge stitch in each side as before until A.2, A.3 and A.5 have been worked. NOTE! The pattern will not fit in each side under sleeve but work pattern as far as possible towards each side, make sure that there is at least 1 stitch with colour off white in each side when working dots. When the pattern is done, repeat the last 8 rows in pattern (marked with x).”
No need to seam or stitch the parts together. Use the same two yarn strands (the two colors) to continue across left front, back and right front. Work the stitches of the chart for each section, fronts and back. There’s an important note:
NOTE! The pattern will not fit in each side under sleeve but work pattern as far as possible towards each side, make sure that there is at least 1 stitch with colour off white in each side when working dots.
This ensures that the pattern in each section aligns with the rows that you have been working even if the pattern isn’t continuous across all the body pieces. It seems to me that it will help to have markers at the joins of fronts to the back to keep you on track with each section.

I second having markers to show the join of fronts and back so you know when to switch chart, if you don’t have enough different colours to make these obviously different from the others, you can maybe link two together, one hanging off the other, or a little yarn loop hanging off a marker.
Depending where you have your pieces on hold you might want to transfer them to a spare needle before working them. I’m not good at working straight off a stitch holder so i use a thinner needle as a temporary needle to work off, it doesnt need to be the correct size needle, just not bigger.
This is an exciting step, joining the pieces!
