Divide N and O makes Q, from Q to R is 2 inches. Now curve O to R, from R to P, shape both sides the inside length of the sleeve, from T to U is 1/2 of an inch, and from S to V is also 1/2 of an inch, curve as shown on the diagram, from A, V, to O and from G, U, to P, this completes the two kinds of sleeves useful for all kinds of garments.
