How to measure an armhole in knitting
Armhole - measure in a straight line at the point where sleeve joins body at the shoulder to where the sleeve meets the body at the underarm.
How many stitches to reduce for armholes?
First, we determine how many stitches we need to reduce. The width of the armhole usually is 4-6 cm (5/32″-15/64″). A-B in the drawing below. If you are size XS - S, most likely you will have 4cm. Size M-L-XL more likely 5-6 cm.
Get your shoulder point in the right place.
It is important to locate the shoulder point anatomically right. In classic set-in sleeve construction, shoulder point should match shoulder joint. That is important in armhole knitting because it can change the look drastically.
How to get smooth decrease edge and get away from ugly steps.
Solution is very simple. When you are knitting to the end of the row, do not knit (purl) the last stitch. Turn your work and the last stitch becomes first one, slip the next stitch and pass first stitch over (psso).
