Part 1 BodyA​ 00' 38'' ​

The body is crocheted in pieces, including the back body, sleeves, and front pieces. Start with the back body, which is composed of full motifs. After we finish the first motif, for the following motifs, we should refer to the connection diagram to connect them together. The front pieces consist of the left and right front piece, all made by crocheting motifs and connecting them. There are 5 rows in total, with the final row incorporating half motifs that eventually form the sleeves. For specific instructions, please refer to the video demonstration.

Full motif

Note:
1. Make sure to measure the dimensions of the first full motif. If there's a big difference, you can adjust your tension.
2. The order of joining and the sequence of motifs can be based on the chart or according to personal preference.

Half motif

Underarm motif

Note: The color scheme for the underarm motif can be freely matched based on the yarn leftovers.
