How

Note that the row to which we "kettle stitch" the lower sleeve is marked, i.e., we knit it 1 unit weaker so that when performing the seam, it does not pull too much. To prevent the stitches from running away and unraveling, you need to steam these stitches with the waste yarn before you start the kitchener stitch or hem the item. This method of finishing the hem is very convenient if there are open stitches left, or the sleeve hem was not done right away, or when I knit the sleeve from the top.
