Part 1 Back piece

Work the back piece first. Begin with alternating cable cast-on, then knit in rows back and forth.

Note: When knitting, you can refer to the given length and adjust the actual number of rows as needed, while keeping the bind off method and the remaining stitch count unchanged.

Part 2 Front Piece

The front piece and back piece are worked similarly. For the final shoulder stitches, bind off together with the corresponding stitches of the back piece. Use the crochet hook to join pieces together along the side seams.

Part 3 Cuffs and Collar

After completing the joining of the front and back pieces, pick up stitches around the sleeves and the neckline, then crochet in rounds for 1×1 ribbing.

Part 4 Decorations

With the hook, using Faux Fur Yarn, work single crochets picking up the surface strands around the picking-up positions for the cuffs and the collar, and around the hem finish and along both sides of the central patterns on the back and front pieces. Pay attention to prevent the workpiece from shrinking after completing.
