BASKET WEAVE T NECK BIB
MATERIALS:
Approximately 1.5 ounces of
worsted weight cotton yarn, like Sugar ‘n Cream
Size US 7 (4.5 mm) 16 inch
circular needle
Tapestry needle
GAUGE:
Approximately 4 stitches = 1
inch
SIZE:
Approximately 8 inches wide
by 8.5 inches long.
NOTES:
Read instructions through before beginning bib.
INSTRUCTIONS:
Cast on 64 stitches with a stretchy cast on. Join in the round, being
careful not to twist.
Rounds
1-8: *K1, P1.
Repeat from * around. (64 sts)
Round
9: K1, P1, 25 times (50 sts). (Okay maybe this is a little obsessive, but I
like the starting tail to be at center back.)
Bind off 28 sts, be sure to keep your bind off loose. (36 sts remaining)
The remainder of bib is worked back and
forth in rows.
Row
1: *K4, P4.
Repeat from * across. End with K4.
If you are as obsessive as I
am: On first row only: knit to last
stitch, slip that stitch as if to purl to the right needle. Pick up both loops of the first bound off
stitch with left hand needle, slip the slipped st back on the left needle and
knit it and the picked up loops together. If not as obsessive: just knit that last st and get on with row 2. (36 sts)

Repeat from * across. End with P4.
