Make Armhole
Knit 35 (36)st, cast off 19sts very loosely. If you do not cast off loosely your armhole will be too tight. (HINT - do not wrap your yarn around your fingers, this will take the tension off. Just pick it up and place it over the needle instead.) Knit remaining sts. Next Row: Knit 35 (36)sts. Turn needle and cast on 19sts. very loosely. Turn needle and knit remaining sts.
Knit till work measures 22 (25)cm from armhole slit. Make another armhole the same as above. Decrease each end of every 2nd row (ie. in first stitch and last stitch) until you have 45sts.

If you cannot crochet, just blanket stitch around armholes to make them firm. Darn in ends.
