9 OF HEARTS BIB


9 OF HEARTS BIB



MATERIALS:
Approximately 1.5 ounces (76 yards) of worsted weight cotton yarn
Size US 7 (4.5 mm) 16 inch circular needle
Tapestry needle

GAUGE:
Approximately 4 stitches = 1 inch

SIZE:
Approximately 8 inches wide by 9 inches long. 

NOTES:
Read instructions through before beginning bib.

INSTRUCTIONS:
Cast on 64 stitches with a stretchy cast on.  Place marker, join in 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.  We will continue with the same numbering sequence.

Row 10:  Knit across.  (36 sts)
On row 10 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 11.  (36 sts)

Row 11(right side):  Knit across.  (36 sts)
