Part 1  Front Piece 

 Start with a foundation chain stitch, work back and forth in rows, and pay attention to the color change positions during crocheting. The project is divided into three parts: the body piece, the chest piece , and the shoulder parts.
Note: 
1. Don't crochet the starting chain too tight. When making the dc4-bobble, switch to the contrasting color yarn;
 2. Pay attention to the stripe pattern in Row 4 when crocheting the dc; leave about 2 meters of yarn tail at each of the left and right shoulder-parts at the end.

Part 2 Back Piece 

The back piece is also divided into 3 sections, starting with a  foundation chain cast on and worked back and forth. You can follow the same crocheting method as the front piece.
Note:
1. The crochet pattern for the back piece is the same as the front piece. When crocheting the dc4-bobble, you also need to switch to the contrasting color yarn; pay attention to the stripe pattern in Row 4 when crocheting the dc. 
2. Leave about 5cm yarn tails at the end of each of the  left and right  shoulder parts .

Part 3 Connecting Pieces & Lace Trim

After completing the front and back pieces, connect the pieces first, then crochet the border.

Step 1  Joining The Pieces

After completing the front and back pieces, place the right sides of the fabric together. First, connect the shoulder parts, then connect the left and right side seams.

Step 2  Lace Trim 

The lace trim is crocheted in rounds, placed in different positions, for a total of 2 rounds.

Part 4 Sleeves

There are two options for the sleeves: short sleeves and length sleeves. The crochet methods are similar. Both start with a chain stitch and are worked back and forth. Each sleeve is divided into two sections: the  section 1  is the sleeve body, and the  section 2  is the sleeve cap. Once the sleeve body is completed, the edges are joined, then the lace trim is crocheted. Finally, the sleeve is attached to the front and back fabric pieces.
Note:
1. Pay attention to the stripe pattern made with dc  on Row 4 and Row 8; 
2. Once the sleeves are joined, begin crocheting the border — 2 rounds are worked on the front loops of the sleeves, and the final round is worked on the other side of the starting chain.
