Bibbing

Hi, my name is Emily.
I am a Fisher-Price Little Mommy Newborn Twin.
My brother's name is James.
I think you will meet him soon.
James and I belong to the Neatnik.

The Neatnik asked her mommy to make us bibs.
And look, she did!
Well, one, so far.
She said something about Mason-Dixon?
I don't know exactly.
But I like my new bib.

Mason-Dixon Doll Bib
This is a half sized version of the Baby Bib found in Mason-Dixon Knitting. You cast on half the number of stitches and each strap is also only half as wide. I used a yarn over for the buttonhole since it is only one stitch.

Note: This is a good way to use up the small amounts of yarn left over from dishcloth knitting.
