Part 1 Motif​

Start with a magic ring and crochet in rounds counterclockwise. Pay attention to use the invisible starting method, and leave a long yarn tail for sewing. After all motifs are completed, sew them together according to the order and color scheme shown in the joining diagram. 

Part 2 Shoulder-parts

Use the foundation chain stitch to cast on, then work back and forth. After completing the work, leave a long yarn tail, and sew it together with the motif according to the joining chart.

Part 3 Hem, Front Band, Edging

Referring to the joining chart, crochet the hem at the top of the required motifs. Crochet the front bands on both sides of the hem. Pay attention that one side of the front band needs to have buttonholes. Afterwards, crochet the edging on the front bands and the hem.

Note: Use X-shaped single crochet for the single crochets.

Part 4 Collar

Crochet on the cast-on stitches at the shoulder-parts, dividing it into two sections. Pay attention that the second part is joined and crocheted from the wrong side of the first part. Finally, crochet the edging on the second part.

Part 5 Sleeve

Following the joining chart, crochet the sleeves on the remaining motifs.
