    Step 1:
    To make a pattern to cut the hole from the hand towel, use a protractor to trace a six inch diameter circle. Cut out the circle.

    Step 2:

    Step 7:
    Pin the ribbing to the hand towel on the right side of the towel. Stretch the ribbing to fit the hole. Stitch together with a narrow seam, stretching the ribbing as you go around.

    Step 8:
    Use a zig-zag or other seam finishing stitch to finish the edges of the seam, preventing raveling in the many washes this article will get! A serger also works well.

    Step 12:
    Remove the bib from the hoop, clip any unsightly threads and remove as much of the backing and topping as possible. Don’t worry if some remains. It will wash away in the first laundering!
