Part 1 The front and back piecesA​

There are two types of motifs here. The granny square pattern motif as Motif 1. And the motif with heart pattern will be Motif 2.

Step 1 Motif 1A1​ 01' 46'' ​

Start with the adjustable magic ring. Crochet in rounds counter clockwise into the ring. You'll need to change colors during the process. And Motif 1 has two different color schemes. Color Scheme A and Color Scheme B. The crochet method is the same. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Note:
① The single motif dimension is 9 * 9 cm. After you complete it, put it against these dimensions. If there's a significant difference, consider switching to a different hook size or adjusting your tension.
② The long version requires 25 motifs, and the short version needs 20 motifs. Just divide the color schemes evenly for both.

Step2 Motif 2A2​ 16' 09'' ​

Similarly, start with an adjustable magic ring. Crochet in rounds counter clockwise into the ring. You also need to change colors during the process. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Step 3 ConnectionA3​ 38' 13'' ​

Start by joining as you go, connect the corresponding motifs. Start by referring to the layout to position the motifs correctly. Place motif 1 and motif 2 in a staggered manner, and stagger the two color schemes within motif 1 as well. Then begin joining them together. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Note: Use CC for joining. The motifs with heart patterns in the diagram are motif 2. Pay attention to the direction of the hearts when joining.

Part 2 SleevesB​ 58' 02'' ​

One sleeve divided into 2 parts. Crochet in rounds along the armhole. You’ll need to change colors during the process, to form the main color and color staggered pattern. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.

Note: For the first section, since there are two colors staggered, to make it look nice and for convenient crocheting, it's recommended to prepare five balls of CC and five balls of MC in advance. If the large skeins are not enough, you can wind smaller skeins.

Part 3 EdgingC​ and buttonsD​ 90' 35'' ​

Along the front band and hem areas crochet in rounds. Complete it, then attach the button at the corresponding position on the hem. Please refer to the video demonstration for more details.
