dishcloth turned bib


Girly Bib
 To make this bib I started out with this pattern and altered it.

The Cotton Dishcloth (Once Removed or Dressed Up!)
Designed by: Marion Torgerson
Rating: Easy - Medium
Materials: 1 ball worsted weight cotton yarn, size 7, 8, 9 or 10 US needles. (7 gives a tight knit that is still soft, yet scrubs)  (I used 7s)
Instructions:
Cast on 15 stitches
Row 1 and all odd rows: K across.
Row 2: K3, YO, K to last st, turn.
Row 4: K3, YO, K to last 2 sts, turn.
Row 6: K3, YO, K to last 3 sts, turn.
Row 8: Bind off 3 sts, K2, YO, K to last 4 sts, turn.
Row 10: K3, YO, K to last 5 sts, turn.
Row 12: K3, YO, K to last 6 sts, turn.

Row 16: K3, YO, K to last 8 sts, turn.
Row 18: K3, YO, K to last 9 sts, turn.

Love it! Man, you're so good at this. You and Justin need to move closer so we can knit together and you can teach me all the stuff I'm too lazy to learn via the internets! :)

Thanks so much for sending me the info on where to find this bib--I REALLY LOVE IT!! And I think it was very clever for you to turn a dishcloth into a usable bib design. Love it!! Thanks so much for sharing--I am going to make this to match instead of a hat--it's much quicker, and too, a little bit different than the same old, same old:) So thanks bunches!! Can't wait to see what you come up with next!

This is a lovely pattern.. I think it could be adapted to make a lovely shawl too.

A question: how could I make this bib for my 1 year old daughter? I tried using size 9 needles and it does make it a bit bigger and looser.
