From D to E is 1¾ inch.
Connect E with F by a straight line.
Point H is in the middle between O and J.
Point I is in the middle between J and H.
DIAGRAM 42.—G up to K is ¼ armhole, 4 inches.
Now, with a pair of compasses, sweep from K by H toward P, and from H by
K. This gives point P, where both sweeps cross.
Now use P as pivot and sweep from K to S. This curve will touch the
upper line at H and give a suitable round for the sleeve head.
Raise above A to R ½ inch, and with a slight curve connect with the
sweep as shown.
Draw a short line from K to line I, which gives N, and make L 2 inches
from A.
Shape the under-arm scye from R to the line at L and up to N, curving
above and below a straight line from N to L, as represented.
From F forward to M is ½ of elbow width.
Draw straight lines M to A and C, and curve inside of these as shown.
DIAGRAM 43.—Work out the outlines as follows:
Shape from K to G, past F, clearing it by ½ inch, and thence with an
easy curve to E at bottom. Curve the edge of cuff from C to E.
Point 9 is ½ inch back from E, and should be straight across from E.
Curve from C to 9.
Draw the elbow-seam of the under part from N to 1 straight down, and
thence to Q and 9, making Q ½ inch inside of the straight line at F.
The inside-seam of the under side follows that of the upper sleeve from
A through T to C.
This finishes the plain sleeve.
