Part 1 Back PiecesA​ 02' 45'' ​(Part 1) 

The back piece is cast on using the left-hand long-tail method, and is worked back and forth, dividing into the body and chest piece.

Part 2 Front PieceB​ 53' 32'' ​(Part 1) 

The front piece is divided into Body Section 1, Body Section 2, and the bust piece. Body Section 1 is further divided into the first part and the second part for crocheting.

Part 3 SleevesC​ 00' 09'' ​(Part 2) 

The sleeve is divided into the sleeve body and the sleeve cap. The sleeve body is further divided into Section 1 and Section 2. After completing, sew it together with the front and back pieces.

Part 4 BordureD​ 23' 47'' ​(Part 2) 

The bordure is divided into cuff bordure, hem bordure, and neckline bordure. The cuff bordure is picked up and knitted in two parts, then sewn together to secure it after completion. The hem bordure and neckline bordure are worked in the same way, with the length done while matching up. The neckline bordure needs to sew the beginning and ending of the fabric piece together, and finally sew it on the corresponding position of the front and back pieces. Please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Part 5 Chinese FrogE​ 49' 07'' ​(Part 2) 

Finally, make 5 pairs of Chinese frogs. Each cuff gets one pair, and the front body bordure gets 3 pairs. First, crochet the cords (about 30cm long), then make the Chinese frogs, and sew them on at the corresponding positions.
