Part 1 Main Part, Section 1A​​ 00' 50'' ​

The first part of the main section is divided into Section 1 and Section 2. Section 1 starts with a foundation chain, and you crochet the corresponding stitch pattern upwards along the braid of the starting chain. Some row numbers require increasing stitches. Section 2 involves reserving the sleeve part and crocheting in the middle segment. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Part 2 SleeveB​ 39' 49'' ​

The sleeve is divided into the main part and the edging, both of which are crocheted in rounds. Regardless of the size, you can choose to crochet long sleeves or short sleeves, and the crochet pattern will be identical. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Note:
1. The left and right mentioned here refer to the actual left and right when wearing. The placement of patterns and spaces in the chart is for reference only. The exact stitch positions should be based on the pattern locations from previous rows.
2. To maintain aesthetics, try to place the starting position of each round roughly at the underarm area.
3. Starting from Round 2, the main part of the sleeve is worked even (no increase or decrease). Work the pattern rounds according to the pattern situation below. The chart is for reference only.
4. For the remaining rounds of the long sleeves or the remaining rounds of the main part of the right sleeve, continue crocheting according to the texture normally.

Part 3 Main Part, Section 2C​ 63' 10'' ​

The second section is crocheted by picking up stitches along the edge of the last row of Section 1 and the edge of Section 2. First, mark position C1​, then crochetC2​. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Note: The number of fan patterns in the first row (15) can also be adjusted according to needs.

Part 4 EdgingD​ 82' 44'' ​

After completing the second section, you'll need to crochet borderD1​below the second section and border D2​ at the front band neckline position, separately. Finally, crochet a round of D3​ along the entire edge of the main part. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Note: 
1. For the first row of the edging in the second section, if the edge is too tight while crocheting, you can appropriately reduce the number of spaces for the cluster stitches.
2. For the first row of the edging on the front band and neckline, crochet approximately 31 stitches evenly on each side (refer to the chart in the second part). At the position where the beginning chain of the first part is, crochet 2 stitches into each space. On the edges with single crochets and the decorative stitch patterns, crochet 1 stitch into each single crochet respectively. You may also adjust the stitch count as needed. For more details, please refer to the video tutorial.
