Buttonhole on a baby bib

How-to Questions
1

I am making a simple baby bib.

The pattern is located here: http://knitlist.com/2003/babybib.htm

I am confused by the buttonhole part (especially the bold):

Buttonhole row: Knit two stitches, yarn over, knit two together, knit one
Knit until 3 ridges show after buttonhole (5 rows)
Repeat buttonhole row
Knit until 3 ridges show after buttonhole (5 rows)
Repeat buttonhole row
Knit until 3 ridges show after buttonhole (5 rows)
Bind off remaining stitches

I can yarn over and knit two together (thanks to the helpful videos!) but don’t understand. I could try and follow buttonhole instructions on another site but I want to lern to follow patterns.

Could anyone help with this?

I’m making that bib right now as well. :heart:

What it means is to knit several rows after the button hole row. You’re working in garter stitch so the rows looks like a bump on the right side. So I would guess you’d do the button-hole row, knit 3 or 4 rows and repeat. Basically you’re putting in 3 different button holes so that you can adjust the neckline of the bib to accomadate (sp) a growing babe. :slight_smile:

Ahhh three different buttonholes. That wasn’t clear in the picture and would have been great in a description. Now it makes sense. I don’t entirely undertand the term ridges, but I know what to do now.

Thanks so much Jennifer! Hope your bib turns out fantastic!
