Schematic Diagram

 Part 1 The Main Part A

The main part is made up of Motif 1 A1 and Motif 2 A2. Check the diagram and crochet the two motifs in order.

Step 1 Motif 1 ×36 A1 01' 06'' ​

Motif 1 is divided into four sections: the body, front body, back body, and sleeves. Start with a magic ring using chain stitches, and crochet each part in order. Except for the very first Motif 1 of the body, all other Motif 1s should be joined as you crochet the final round. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Motif 1

Note: After finishing the first motif, it’s a good idea to measure it first. If the size looks about right, keep crocheting. Starting from the second motif, check its size against the previous one after you’ve completed round 3. Once you’re sure it matches, go ahead and continue.
