Note: 
1. Determine the left and right pieces based on how they will be worn.
2. When crocheting back and forth, work the opposite stitches on the wrong side compared to the chart.
The handcrafted measurements may have an error of 1 to 2 cm. Due to variations in individual tension, the size of the sample is for reference only.

Part 1 YokeA​ 00' 45'' ​

The yoke section starts with a pattern cast on, then work back and forth in rows before switching to crocheting in rounds. After completing this part, mark the front and back pieces as well as the left and right sleeve sections according to the pattern. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Part 2 Body B​ 22' 01'' ​

The body section includes the front-to-back difference, underarm increases, the main part, and the edging. The front-to-back difference is achieved by continuing to crochet back and forth on the back piece. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Part 3 SleevesC​ 30' 56'' ​

The sleeves are divided into left and right sleeves. The crochet techniques for long sleeves and short sleeves differ. For the long sleeve version, the sleeve is divided into the sleeve body and the lace trim at the cuff. After completing the lace trim, work one round of slip stitches on the wrong side of the third round. Use more than 1.5 meters of elastic cord, working with two strands held together. For the short sleeve version, only the lace trim at the cuff is included. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Note: The first 6 rounds of the left and right sleeves are shown separately, and the remaining part is demonstrated in the same way, combined.

Part 4 CollarD​ 46' 58'' ​

The collar is crocheted at the starting point of the yoke and the opening. Except for the last round, which is crocheted in rounds, all other parts need to be worked back and forth. When working the last round, you need to leave space for buttonholes.Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Part 5 DecorationsE​ 49' 03'' ​

The decorations include small flowers, ribbons, and assembly. Pay attention to leaving a yarn tail at both the start and end of each small flower. The starting yarn tail is used to sew pearls at the center, while the ending yarn tail is used for securing. The number of small flowers differs between the long-sleeve and short-sleeve versions. You can refer to the actual project for securing positions or adjust them according to your personal preference. For more details, Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.
