PART 1 Front BodyA​ 00' 53'' ​

The front body is made by joining 8 flower motifs. First, crochet the motifs, then connect them, work edging in rounds, and finally embroider decorative lines. During the process, you'll need to cut and sew the mesh panel. For details, please refer to the video tutorial.

Note: After finishing crocheting, measure the size of the piece. If it differs significantly from the dimensions indicated in the diagram, consider adjusting your tension and re-crocheting.

PART 2 Back BodyB​ 45' 12'' ​

PART 3 Bottom edgeC​ 55' 21'' ​

The method for crocheting the bottom edge is similar to that of the back body, except for the number of stitches and rows. First, crochet the main part, and as you work, compare it with the front body to ensure the height on both sides aligns roughly with the center of the top motif. The length of the bottom edge should match that of the front body’s bottom edge. Trim the grid mat as needed during the process—refer to the video demonstration for details.

Note: The width of the main piece should be about 5 cm. If it differs significantly, adjust the tension and re-crochet.


PART 4 LiningD​ 56' 42'' ​

Separately cut the lining for the front and back bodies, and the bottom edge lining. After completing, sew along the edges—refer to the video demonstration for details.

PART5 Top edge × 2E​ 61' 07'' ​

The top edge consists of 2 identical pieces, worked with a chain cast-on, crocheting in rows, similar to the bottom edge but with different numbers of cast-on stitches and rows. For details, please refer to the video demonstration.
