Finishing Rows Option 1
Row 1: Join yarn w/SLP ST at upper left corner of bib, where the bib tie is(this is the chain section that was left unworked at the beginning of the pattern) CH 1; SC around edge of bib (smoothing out the bumpy areas) You can achieve this by not crocheting down into the divets, but skipping over them.
Row 2: Turn, *CH 1, SLP ST in nxt st* Repeat in every st around the bib, when you get to the bib string continue on with *CH1, SLP ST in each CH*, ending off at the end of the tie. This leaves one string unworked. Please follow Row 3
Row 3: Join Yarn in first CH of second Bib string; *CH 1, SLP ST in CH* Repeat in each CH of string. When you reach the bib, anchor string with SLP ST to Bib, end off.

Buttons & lace attachment for Bib Follows.
Fold the lace over twice and pin in place Pic 1. Since there is a curve in the bib applying the lace requires a little ease. If the lace is narrow then you can just pin in place, and work the ease in, as you pin the lace in place. Notice how it is slightly bumpy Pic 2. It is all pinned, with a little ripple that will be worked into the bib, as you hand sew it on to the bib.
Applying the buttons can be frustrating, but very easy when you use scotch tape. Position the buttons in place, and then take a piece of scotch tape, and in one fell swoop, lay put the tape over the buttons…if done quickly, the buttons will not shift. Pic1 Sew the buttons in place, going through the scotch tape. Pic 2 When all buttons are in place, gently peel the scotch tape away, lifting it gentley away from the fiber. Pic3
Adding fabric embellishments to this baby bib is easy.
