Step 1
Draw the details of the hemings on the armholes directly on the knitted fabric.

Fold the armholes along the wrong side inwards and press down.
Step 3
Pin the stitches to the cuts of the armholes, combine the open cuts of the stitches with the edges of the allowances.
Grind stitches at a distance of 1 cm.
Cut the seam allowances close to the stitches; cut them in the rounding sections.
Step 4
Turn off the seams on the wrong side and take them.
Step 5
Iron the armholes and stitch at a distance of 5 mm, thereby securing the grouts.
