For the applique: for a cleaner look when changing colors, YO and before pulling through and completing the stitch on the hook, pull through with the new color to finish the stitch.

Row 30-38: Repeat Row 29, always sc in last turning ch sp, ch 2 and turn. Do not ch 2 at the end of Row 38 and do not turn.

Row 39: Ch 13, sc in 2nd ch from hook and across ch length until you reach the body of the bib. Continue in the same pattern as before, (sc and ch 1), in the ch 1-sps.

Keep your working yarn attached. Join the small skein set aside from before into the corner and ch 12. Pick up working yarn again, and sc in each of the 12 chs. Ch 2, and turn. This ch 2 counts as your first st in the next row.

Row 40: Sk first st, (sc into next st, ch 1, sk next st) across ch, continue working in the (sc, ch 1 in ch 1-sp) across to end. Ch 2 and turn.

Row 41-44: (Sc, ch 1) in each ch 1-sp across.

Row 45: Ch 3, (sk first st, hdc in next st, ch 1) across. FO and weave in ends.

British Soldier Applique (make 3):

Row 1: With black, ch 3, sc in 2nd and 3rd ch from hook

Row 2-3: sc in each st (2). You have now formed the legs.

Row 4: With red, 2sc in each st (4)

Row 5-7: sc in each (4). You have now formed the body.

Row 8: With black, sc in first st, pull through white and sc in next 2 sts, pull through black and sc in last st (for a cleaner color transition, pull through new color before pulling through the sc loops)

Row 9: With black, sc in each st (4)

Row 10: sc2tog twice. You have now formed the helmet.

With yellow, embroider a small “X” on the soldier’s chest. FO and weave in ends. TIP: I made the center soldier’s legs longer, so added 2-3 rows more for the legs.

Sew applique onto bib OR add metal snaps to make it removable/changeable!

Adding snaps or buttons:

If adding snaps, sew snaps to end of bandana bib tabs, making sure the tabs overlap each other slightly.

If adding a button, crochet a small chain loop and attach to end of one tab. Make sure the loop is small enough to snuggly fit around your button. Alternatively, you may be able to push a smaller button through the gap in the ch 1-spaces.
