Row 2. Taking up back st only, dc in each dc, with 5 dc in each corner, ch 3, turn. Repeat row 2 for 7 more rows.
Row 10. Dc in each of next 5 (6 dc with turning ch), * sk 1, (2 dc, ch 1, 2 dc) in next, (shell made), sk 1, shell in next, sk 1, dc in each of next 6 *, repeat * to * around, catching corners of yoke tog under arm as you go. Ch 3, turn.
Row 11. Dc in each of 5 (back st only), shell under ch 1 of previous shells, dc in each of next 6, etc., across. Ch 3, turn.
(Rows 10 and 11 make pattern). Continue in pattern until work measures 6 1/2 inches below yoke. Fasten off.
Sleeve. Join yarn at underarm, ch 3 for first dc, dc in each of next 5 (back st only), (sk 2, shell in next) twice, sk 2, dc in each of next 6, etc., on around sleeve. Join to top of ch 3. Ch 3, turn at end of each row. Continue in pattern until sleeve measures 6 inches.
Cuff. Row 1. Sc, sk 1, sc, sk 1, around. Rows 2, 3, and 4. Dc in each st (back st only). Edge: (Use around cuff and entire sacque). * Ch 2, dc in same st, sk 1, sc in next *. Repeat around.
Bonnet: Ch 74, dc in 4th st from hook, dc in each of next 5, * (sk 1, shell in next) twice, sk 1, dc in each of next 6 *, repeat * to * across. Ch 3, turn.
Continue in pattern (back st only) until work measures 5 1/2 inches. Crochet back seam tog, st for st with sc with ch 1 between (this helps to make the pointed effect of the bonnet). Sc across lower edge of bonnet, skipping enough stitches evenly across to leave about 7 inches, sc closely in each st across front of bonnet, ch 3, turn, make 4 rows of pattern for flare, put 2 ch in center of each shell for last 2 rows. Edge as for sacque.
Bootee: Begin with sole: Ch 20.
Row 1. 2 dc in 4th ch from hook, 1 dc in each of next 15, 5 dc in next, 1 dc in each of next 15 down opposite side of ch, 2 dc in last, join to top of 3-ch.
Row 2. Ch 3, 2 dc in each of next 3, 1 dc in each of next 13, 2 dc in each of next 7, 1 dc in each of next 13, 2 dc in each of next 3, 1 dc in same st as 3-ch, join.
Row 3. Ch 3, (1 dc in next, 2 dc in next) 3 times, 1 dc in each of next 14, (2 dc in next, 1 dc in next) 7 times, 1 dc in each of next 13, (2 dc in next, 1 dc in next) 3 times, 1 dc in same st as 3-ch, join.
Row 4. Ch 3, 1 dc around the spoke of each dc, inserting hook from back, right to left, join. (68 dc, counting 3-ch).
Rows 5 and 6. Ch 3, dc in each dc, join.
Row 7. Ch 3, yo, draw up lp in 1st dc, insert hook in next dc and draw up lp, yo, through 3, yo, through 2 (dec dc made), dc in each dc until last 2, make dec dc, join, and fasten off. This is center back (66 dc).
Instep. Row 1. Beginning with first st to left of 3-ch in center back, count on left side of shoe to 27th st. Join yarn in this st, and with toe of shoe toward you, draw loop in same st. Retaining all loops on hook, draw up lp in each of next 12 (13 total loops). Work off as follows: yo, through 1, * yo, through 2 *, repeat across. The lp left on hook is always first st of next row.
Row 2. Insert hook under second vertical bar, draw up loop. Retaining all lps on hook, draw up lp in each vertical bar except last. Now insert hook through last vertical bar and st directly behind it and draw up lp (13 loops). Work off as for Row 1. Make 6 more rows in same manner.
Row 9. Draw up loop under second vertical bar, yo, through 2 (sc made). Repeat across, ending with 1 loop on hook.
Fasten instep in shoe as follows: Catch remaining loop on hook into 15th st from center back on right side of shoe (do not count 3-ch) and with instep piece toward you, sc it st for st to right side of shoe. 2 sc at corner, sc across toe, inserting hook from right to left under each of the original 13 sts of instep, 2 sc at corner, sc instep and shoe together along left side, ending in 15th st from center back (do not count 3-ch).
Beading. With toe of shoe facing you, ch 4, * sk 1, dc in next, ch 1 *, repeat across instep, ending in same 15th st where you began joining instep to shoe.
Ch 1, sk 1, dec dc in next 2 sts, ch 1, repeat * to * (above) 11 times, sk 1, dec dc in next 2, ch 1, join to third st of 4-ch (21 dc counting 4-ch).
Top: Use pattern st as for sleeve, remembering to ch 3 and turn at end of each row. Make 4 or 5 rows. Edge as for sacque.
Carriage Robe: Ch 141, dc in 4th st from hook, and in each st across (138 dc, counting turning ch). Ch 3, turn.
Make 5 rows straight dc (back st only).
Row 7. Dc in each of next 11 (12 with turning ch) * sk 2, shell in next, sk 3, shell, sk 2, dc in each of next 12*, repeat * to * across.
Row 8, etc. Pattern until work measures about 22 inches. Add 6 rows of straight dc as at beginning.
Border. Row 1. Ch 3, turn. Shell in corner, sk 1, shell in next, * sk 3, shell in next * across, ending shell in third st from corner, sk 1, shell in corner, shell in base of same dc, shell at end of each second row of dc down side, end same as before, etc., around. (Always have shell at each corner, and 1 close to it on each side, so that work will be flat.)
Row 2. Ch 3, turn. Shell in shell, ch 2, (shell, ch 2, shell) in same shell, (corner), shell in shell across, corner as before, etc., around.
Row 3. Same as row 1, increasing at corner by shell in ch 2 between shells.
Row 4. Same as row 2.
Row 5. Dc in each dc of shells, skipping ch 1 each time, with shell in each corner.
Rows 6-10. Dc in each dc, shell in each corner.
Rows 11-15. Same as 1-4. Edge as for sacque.
Finish with ribbon ties, or crocheted cords with pompons.
