Now the largest stitches on the machine we spend on the side and shoulder sections, retreating to the width of the allowance. With a thick needle, we spread the pile, which fell into the line, stretching it to the face. We lower the hem of the lower cut and take note. Then we grind the details of the lining and sew the underlay from underneath.

From the other scarf we cut out two shelves, laying out the templates so that the rim passes down and along the front sections of the parts. The patches can be designated, but can be left straight. Mark the neckline not too deep and cut the shoulder sections. Similar parts can be found from the lining. Beacons from dubbing lay a neckline, armholes and front parts of shelves.
