Pretty Crochet Baby Bib in Cotton Yarn

The bib is worked in half treble crochet (htc). The ties are worked in double crochet (dc). UK Terminology

Using a 3.5mm hook and DK cotton yarn –

Make a foundation chain of 29 chain stitches

Turn, 1htc in 3^rd chain from hook, 1htc in each chain to end, turn               (27sts)

Chain 2 (this counts as first htc), 12htc, 3htc in next st, 13htc, turn             (29sts)

Chain 2 (this counts as first htc), 13htc, 3htc in next st, 14htc, turn             (31sts)

Chain 2 (this counts as first htc), 14htc, 3htc in next st, 15htc, turn             (33sts)
