Circle Baby Bib Free Crochet Pattern


My All_Crafts_4_Charity Yahoo group is making baby items for Bundles of Love in Minnesota. This weekend they put out a challenge for baby bibs and wash clothes. I did a search this morning for a baby bib pattern I liked and couldn't find anything. Well, we know what that means don't we? Deb had to make her own. This is a small bib, 5" X 6 1/2", suitable for an infant. I used Peaches & Cream worsted weight cotton yarn.

  1. That is so cute. I really need to re-teach myself crochet, I really do. Round stuff is so much easier to crochet than to knit.
