Note:  
1. This pattern is making in Chinese crochet pattern terms, and the stitch name is written using American terminology. All measurements in charts are in cm. 
2. The finished yarn is not easy to undo, so you can first practice the crochet method with the yarn at home, and then crochet with the original yarn.

Part 1 Section 1A​​ 00' 43'' (Part1) ​

Section 1 is divided into several parts: the "Xi" character motif, the "Le" character motif, motif edging, corner triangles, corner edging, and overall edging. Both the "Xi" character motif and the "Le" character motif start with a foundation chain and are worked back and forth. During the process, you need to switch colors, and finally add slip stitches for decoration. After completing the motifs, work the motif edging and join them together in round 2. Then separately crochet the corner triangles and edge them before sewing adjacent positions together. Finally, work the overall edging. Please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Note: After completing the 15th row of the "Xi" motif or "Le" motif, the height is approximately 15.5 cm and the width is approximately 33 cm. If there is a significant difference from the finished measurement, you need to adjust your tension and re-crochet the last few rows to avoid affecting the final dimension.

Part 2 Section 2B​​ 74' 38'' (Part1) ​

Section 2 is crocheted in rounds counterclockwise on Section 1, and you need to switch colors during the process. Please refer to the video demonstration for details.

Note: When crocheting the last few rounds of Section 2, measure as you crochet. The final length should be about 104cm and the width about 71cm. If there's a big difference, you need to adjust your tension and re-crochet the last few rounds to avoid an unattractive connection when attaching the motifs later.

Part 3 Section 3C​ 00' 08'' (Part2) ​

Section 3 is divided into 2 parts: the motifs and the outside edging. The motifs are further divided into 3 types: Motif One, Motif Two, and Motif Three. For details, please refer to the video demonstration.

Note: 
1. After completing the 9th round of Motif One and Motif Two, the width should be approximately 11cm. If there's a significant difference, you need to adjust your tension and re-crochet the last few rounds to ensure a neat connection in Section 2 later on.
2. For the last round of the motifs, you need to crochet and join simultaneously. There’s no strict requirement for the joining order. You can follow the crocheting sequence of the motifs or, after learning the method, refer to the schematic and join according to your own preference.

Part 4 ZipperD​ 79' 24'' (Part2) ​

Finally, sew the zipper between the edging of Section 1 and the first round of Section 2. Please refer to the video demonstration for details.

Yarn: sewing thread.
