A COUPLE OF NOTES FOR YOU!

• You can make the bib with either of our yarn choices.

• You can use an H (5.0mm) or I (5.5mm) crochet hook.

• The photo shows the “life” size bib in Lion Brand Recycled cotton.

• You should be able to get two bibs out of either yarn choice.

• If when working the bib it is not wide enough after the given number of increases, repeat the increase rows to the desired width of the sample.
