Part 1 Yoke and Collar Edge

First, use the provisional chain cast on method to crochet in rounds for the yoke part. After completing it, continue to crochet the collar edge, and finally bind off.

Part 2 Body and Hem

Before crocheting, divide the stitches according to the stitch allocation diagram to separate the front and back pieces and the left and right sleeves. Using the center of the back piece as the reference point: In the first round, crochet 59 knit stitches first, then cast on 18 stitches under the arm, continue with 118 stitches, cast on another 18 stitches under the other arm, and finish with 59 knit stitches. Now there are a total of 272 stitches on the straight needles for the body. Next, start short rows to form the difference between the front and back. After completing the short rows, work even to the corresponding length. When reaching the last row, increase stitches as needed. Finally, crochet the hem pattern.

Part 3 Sleeves

Increase stitches at the underarm and join yarn roughly in the middle position to continue knitting. Pick up one extra stitch on each side of the underarm increases, paying attention to avoid leaving any holes on both sides.
