Part 1 Main Body PieceA​ 00' 42'' ​

The body is divided into front and back pieces, worked in the same way. However, the front piece requires color changes while crocheting. The body pieces start with a foundation chain and are worked back and forth in rows. Please refer to the video demonstration for details.

Part 2 Front and Back Chest PieceB​ 17' 45'' ​

The front and back chest pieces are crocheted separately on the front and back body sections. The crochet technique is almost similar to the body, but you need to leave space for the neck opening at the neckline position. This area is divided into left and right shoulder parts. After completing the crocheting, you will need to join the shoulders and the front and back pieces together. Please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Part 3 Hem and CuffsC​ 23' 26'' ​

The hem is worked in rounds around the bottom edge of the joined body pieces, and the cuffs are worked in rounds along the sides of the joined front and back chest pieces. Please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Part 4 CollarD​ 29' 36'' ​

The collar is worked in rounds around the neckline. Please refer to the video demonstration for specifics.

Note: On the edge of the double crochets, repeat the sequence of 2 stitches, 2 stitches, and 3 stitches (refer to the hem). Correspondingly make double crochet stitches where the double crochet edge meets the hem, and work 1 double crochet at the joining point.
