Sacque. Row 1. Ch 55, sc in each st (54 sc). Work in slipper st (sc in every st, taking up back lp only) for 21 more rows. Work over 18 sts for 5 rows. Increase at neck 1 st each row until 30 sts. Work even for 6 more rows. Fasten off.
Sk 18 sts at neck. Make opposite front yoke to correspond. Do not break yarn this time. With separate yarn, join corners of yoke at underarms with ch 7 between. Continue with main yarn as follows:
Row 1. Sc over 10 sts, * ch 1, turn. Sc over 10 sts (back lp only), ch 1, turn. Sc over 10 sts, 4 dc (shell) in same st of yoke as last sc, sk 1 sc, (sc in next, ch 2, shell in next sc, sk 1) twice, sc in each of next 10 *, repeat * to * around, end sc in last 10 sc of yoke. Ch 1, turn. (7 shell groups, 8 sc panels).
Row 2. Sc over 10 sts, (ch 1, turn, sc over 10) twice, * 4 dc in sc just preceding first shell, sc in fourth dc of shell, (ch 2, shell in next sc, sc in fourth dc of shell) twice, sc over 10 *, repeat * to * across, ch 1, turn.
Row 3. Same as Row 1, except make first shell of each group in sc just preceding first shell of previous row.
Repeat Rows 2 and 3 until work measures 6 1/2 or 7 inches from yoke, ending with Row 2.

Join yarn at underarm, ch 3, 3 dc in same st, sk 3, * sc in next, ch 2, sk 2, 4 dc in next, sk 3 *, repeat around, end ch 2, join to top of ch 3. Turn at end of each row.
Row 2. * Ch 2, 4 dc in next sc, sc in fourth dc of shell *, repeat * to * around.
Repeat pattern until sleeve measures 6 1/2 or 7 inches.
NOTE: If you wish sleeve to puff, change sk 3 to sk 2, making 9 shells instead of 8 and continue in pattern.
Cuff. Sc in 3 sts of each shell and 2 or 3 more sts at underarm side to make about 30 sts. Slipper st for 3 or 4 rows. Edge cuff in main yarn with * ch 2, 2 dc in base of same ch, sk 1 st, sc in next *, repeat around. Use same edge for entire sacque.
