I tried making this - it seemed easy enough for me but it didn't work out. It went well until neck shaping. RS I presume is right side of the bib. I did not F/O & started first side of neck then did 2nd side but they ended up being on the wrong sides. First side I just turned work around & started row 1 & kept working - did 2nd side (rt. shoulder) but as I said earlier they were reverse. When you say RS do you mean right side of bib (facing you) or the right side (of shoulder) as opposed to left side (shoulder) of bib. I am confused - trying a 2nd bib to see if I can do it right but am at a standstill at neck edge - leary to go on for fear I make same mistake - sorry! it probably sounds crazy to you but not familiar with this. Many tks for any help you can clarify for me.
ReplyDeleteRS is right side of work - as in the front side .
DeleteWS is wrong side of the work - as in the back side.
So here are the instructions with some added memos for you. Hope this helps:
Repeat Row 8 until work measures 6 ins, ending with RS (right [front] side of work) facing (facing you) for next row.
Shape neck:
First side:
Row 1: (RS - right [front] side of work facing you as in front side not right hand side). Ch 1. 1 sc in each of first 6 sts. sc2tog. 7 sts. Leave rem sts unworked. Turn.
Row 12: (WS - wrong [back] side). Ch 1. 2 sc in first st, 1 sc in each st to last 2 sts, Sc2tog. Turn.
many tks - will try & see what I come up with.
