SEED STITCH BIB
SEED STITCH 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 8.5 inches
wide by 8.5 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 29 sts, be sure to keep your bind off loose. (35 sts remaining)
The remainder of bib is
worked back and forth in rows. We will continue
with the same numbering sequence.
Row 10 (right side): *K1, P1. Repeat from * across. (35 sts)
On
row 10 only: work 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.
(35 sts)
Row 11: *K1, P1.
Repeat from * across, end with K1.
(35 sts)
Repeat row 11 until bib
measures about 8 to 8.5 inches from cast on edge.
Bind off. Weave in ends.
