Explanation:
Not used very frequently.

I might say ´ved håndleddene´ in this case.

1 cm ribkant ved den nederste søm og håndleddene.

or simply:
1 cm ribkant nederst og ved håndleddene.

(I suspect that there is no actual hem if there is a ribbed edge, but your source text does not sound like native English to me.)

Explanation:
"a cuff" er helt korrekt en "manchet", så jeg ville nok sige "knapper på kraven og manchetterne"
