NAME
Knitted::Bib - A knitted bib with a camel motif
DESCRIPTION
These are complete instructions for knitting a bib with the camel motif from the Knitted:Dishcloth. The bib's construction is taken from the bibs at Cloverlaine's blog (http://downcloverlaine.blogspot.com/). If you like this bib, but don't care about camels, you should totally check out the many wonderful bib designs she has there. They're all cuter than this one (including two different penguin designs, you Linux nerds)!
Gauge is not important. Using the yarn and needles listed below, I got a bib about 7.5 inches (19 cm) wide.
MATERIALS YARN
Approximately 100 yards (91 m) of worsted weight cotton yarn. That's less than one ball of Lily Sugar 'N Cream (l used colorway #18742, Hot Blue) or similar.
NEEDLES
One pair US #6 $(4.0\;\mathsf{m m})$ straight knitting needles. One set of US #5 $(3.75\,\mathsf{m m})$ double-pointed knitting needles. Actually, you only need two needles, not the whole set. They are only used for the I-cord. Alternatively, if you look on Elaine's blog, you'llfind instructions for doing the I-cord with a crochet hook instead. http://downcloverlaine.blogspot.com/2010/05/ties-that-bind.html
DIRECTIONS
We're going to start by knitting the rounded bottom part with short rows. CO 41 sts [kl pl] for 28 sts， turn (l3 sts unworked) sllkw， [kl， pl] for 17 sts， turn (l0 sts unworked) sllkw，[pl， kl] for 20 sts， turn (lo sts unworked) sllkw， [pl， kl] for 23 sts, turn (7 sts unworked) sllkw， [kl， pl] for 26 sts， turn (7 sts unworked) sllkw， [kl, pl] for 28 sts, turn (5 sts unworked) sllkw， [kl， pl] for 30 sts, turn (5 sts unworked) sllkw， [kl， pl] for 32 sts， turn (3 sts unworked) sllkw, [kl， pl] for 34 sts, turn (3 sts unworked) sllkw, [kl， pl] for 36 sts, turn (l st unworked) sllkw, [kl， pl] for 38 sts， turn (l st unworked) sllkw, [kl， pl] to end [kl， pl] across Now we're going to introduce the field of stockinette on which the camel motif will be placed, starting on thewrongside. Row 1 (ws): [kl， pl] for 13 sts, pl5， [kl， pl] for 13 sts Row 2 (RS): [kl， pl] for 12 sts， k17, [pl, kl] for 12 sts Row 3: [kl， pl] for ll sts， pl9, [kl, pl] for ll sts Row 4: [kl, pl] for 10 sts, k21, [pl, kl] for 10 sts Row 5:[kl, pl] for9 sts， p23, [kl， pl]for9 stsRow 6:[kl， pl] for8 sts,k25, [pl， k1] for 8 stsRow 7: [kl， pl] for 7 sts， p6,k3,pl8, [kl，pl] for 7 sts Row 8: [kl， pl] for6 sts, k3， p3, k13， p3, k7， [pl， kl] for 6 stsFrom now on we're going to start and end each row with k1,p1,k1,p1,k1, which we'll abbreviate B5. Row 9: B5, p9,k2,p8,k1,p5,k2,p4, B5 Row 10: B5, k4,p2,k4,p2,kl,p3,k3,p2,k10, B5 Row 11: B5, p10,k2,p4,k5,p4,k2,p4， B5 Row 12: B5， k4,p2,k4,p4,k5,p2,k10， B5 Row 13: B5， p11,k1,p5,k4,p4,k2,p4， B5 Row 14: B5, k4,p2,k5,p2,k6,pl,k11， B5 Row 15: B5, p11,k2,p4,k3,p6,k1,p4， B5 Row 16: B5, k4,pl,k5,p2,kl,p2,k3,p2,k11， B5 Row 17: B5, p11,k2,p3,kl,p3,kl,p5,kl,p4, B5 Row 18: B5, k4,p2,k4,p1,k3,p2,k2,p2,k11， B5 Row 19: B5, p11,k2,p2,k2,p3,k2,p3,k2,p4, B5 Row 20: B5, k4,pl,k4,p2,k3,p2,k2,p2,k11， B5 Row 21: B5, p11,k2,p2,k3,p2,k2,p3,k2,p4, B5 Row 22: B5, k4,p2,k3,p2,k2,p3,kl,p3,k11, B5 Row 23: B5, p11,k3,pl,k4,pl,k2,p3,k2,p4, B5 Row 24: B5, k4,p2,k3,p2,kl,p4,kl,p3,k11， B5 Row 25: B5, p11,k3,p2,k3,pl,k2,p3,k2,pl,kl,p2, B5 Row 26: B5, k2,pl,k1,p3,kl,p3,kl,p3,k2,p3,k11, B5 Row 27: B5, pl1,k12,pl,k3,pl,kl,p2, B5 Row 28: B5, k2,pl,kl,p3,kl,p12,kl,p3,k7, B5 Row 29: B5, p6,k21,pl,kl,p2, B5 Row 30: B5, k2,pl,k1,p21,k6, B5 Row 31: B5, p5,k22,pl,kl,p2, B5 Row 32: B5, k2,pl,k1,p22,k5, B5 Row 33: B5, p4,k23,pl,kl,p2, B5 Row 34: B5, k2,p25,k4, B5 Row 35:B5,p4,k25,p2， B5 Row 36: B5， k3,p24,k4, B5 Row 37: B5, p4,k24,p3， B5 Row 38: B5, k3,p17,k1,p6,k4, B5 Row 39: B5, p4,k6,p1,k16,p4, B5 Row 40: B5, k4,p16,kl,p6,k4， B5 Row 41: B5， p4,k6,p2,k14,p5, B5 Row 42: B5, k5,p14,kl,p7,k4， B5 Row 43: B5， p4,k7,p1,k14,p5, B5 Row 44: B5, k6,p12,k2,p6,k5, B5 Row 45: B5, p3,k8,p3,k11,p6, B5 Row 46: B5, k6,p10,k4,p9,k2, B5 Row 47: B5, p2,k9,p4,k9,p7， B5 Row 48: B5, k7,p8,k5,p9,k2, B5 Row 49: B5, p3,k7,p6,k8,p7， B5 And now we stop the B5 and start to move the border back in towards the center. Row 50: [kl， pl] for 6 sts, k7,p6,k7,p4,k5， [pl, k1] for 6 sts Row 51:[kl， pl] for7 sts， p5,k2,p9,k5,p6， [k1， pl] for 7 stsRow 52:[kl, pl] for8 sts, k6,p2,k17， [pl, kl] for8 stsRow 53: [kl， pl] for 9 sts， p23, [kl， pl] for 9 sts Row 54: [kl, pl] for 10 sts, k2l, [pl, kl] for 10 sts Row 55: [kl， pl] for ll sts， pl9, [kl， pl] for ll sts Row 56: [kl, pl] for 12 sts, k17， [pl， kl] for 12 sts Row 57: [kl, pl] for 13 sts， pl5, [kl, pl] for 13 sts Rows 58-63: kl, pl across. Now we're done with the main part of the bib and we're going to do the reducing for each strap one at a time. We're working on the RS and we're going to start by knitting across (in the seed stitch pattern) 14 sts for the right-hand side, then binding off 13 sts in the middle, then knitting (in pattern) 14 sts for the left-hand side. If you look at Elaine's instructions, at this point she slips the first 14 of these stitches onto a holder, but I just leave them on the needle. We're going to ignore them for a little while, but they won't really be in our way. Okay? Let's do it! Row 64: [kl， pl] for 14 sts, B0 13 stitches kw， [pl, kl] for 14 sts Now if we hold the needle up and look at the RS, we have 14 sts on the right-hand side, then a big gap where the bound off sts are, then another 14 sts on the left-hand side, where the working yarn and the point of the needle are.
NECK ANDSHOULDERSHAPING--LEFT SHOULDER
Working with just the 14 sts on the left-hand side... Row 65: [kl, pl] across Row 66: skp， [pl,kl] across (13 sts) Row 67: [kl, pl] across Row 68: skp， [kl, pl] across (12 sts) Row 69: [kl, pl] across Row 70: skp, [pl, kl] across (ll sts) Row71:[kl， pl]across Row 72: [kl, p1] to last 2 sts, p2tog.(10 sts) Row 73: [pl, kl] across Row 74: [kl, pl] to last 2 sts, k2tog.

(5 sts) Row 83: [kl, pl] across Row84: skp， kl， k2 tog.(3 sts) Slip these 3 sts onto a DPN and knit an I-cord for about 12 inches. Cut a generous piece (more than the length of your I-cord), bind it off, and thread the end down through middle of the I-cord. Weave in the end down there.
NECK AND SHOULDER SHAPING --RIGHT SHOULDER
Working with the 14 sts that are still on the straight needle, rejoin the working yarn. Row 65: [pl, kl] across Row66:[kl， pl] to last 2 sts, k2tog. (l3 sts) Row 67: [kl，pl] across Row68:[kl， pl]to last 2 sts， p2tog. (12 sts) Row 69: [pl, k1] across Row 70: [kl, pl] to last 2 sts, k2tog. (1l sts) Row 71: [kl, pl] across Row 72: skp, [kl， pl] across (l0 sts) Row 73: [kl, pl] across Row 74: skp, [pl, kl] across (9 sts) Row 75: [kl, pl] across Row 76: skp, [kl, pl] across (8 sts) Row 77: [kl, pl] across Row 78: skp, [pl, kl] across (7 sts) Row 79: [kl, pl] across Row 80: skp, [kl， pl] across (6 sts) Row 8l: [kl, pl] across Row 82: skp, [pl, kl] across (5 sts) Row 83: [kl， pl] across Row 84: skp, k1, k2tog. (3 sts) Slip these 3 sts onto a DPN and knit an I-cord for about 12 inches. Bind it off, and thread the end down through middle of the I-cord. Weave in the end down there. Weave in the other ends (one at the very beginning and one where we rejoined at the right shoulder).
