The remainder of bib is worked back and forth in rows. We will continue with the same numbering sequence.
Row 10: Knit across. (36 sts)
On row 10 only: knit to last stitch, slip that stitch as if to purl to the right needle. Pick up both loops of the first bound off stitch with left hand needle, slip the slipped st back on the left needle and knit it and the picked up loops together. If not as obsessive: just knit that last st and get on with row 11. (36 sts)
