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. When crocheting in rounds without further guidance, working in closed rounds, start each round with a set number of beginning chains and close with a slip stitch. The beginning chain preceding a single crochet and the slip stitch used for joining rounds are not included in the total stitches. 
3.  Due to the special yarn, it may be difficult to see the stitches clearly. It is recommended to practice with leftover yarn at home by following the video before starting with the actual yarn. Once you're comfortable, proceed with the designated yarn for the project. 

PART1 Main PartA​ 00' 42'' ​

The main part is divided into the bottom and the trunk. The bottom is started with the foundation chain, worked in rounds counterclockwise. There are 2 pieces for the bottom: one is finished with a cut yarn, the other remains uncut. Then they are overlapped and the trunk is continued upward. A circular mesh piece is added in the middle. For details, please refer to the video demonstration.
