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

Make a foundation chain of 29 chain stitches
Turn, 1htc in 3rd 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,

Continue in the same manner until 18 rows have been worked –
or until the bib is the length required
Add a simple shell border on the lower edge only - or on
each side as well as the lower edge
For the ties ~
Re-attach the yarn to the top corner and make a chain of 55
chain stitches
Turn, 1dc in each chain to end, (makes first tie)
Continue across the top of the bib making 1dc in each stitch
across to the other top corner
Chain 55 chain stitches
