baby bib

Wanted to post this bib before we give it away. It was my1st and fun to make, and I was glad to find a pattern for the D too! It looks crokked but it's not, I hate photos that make your work look wonky, lol!
Grandson #10 here comes your gift, then a blanket for Christmas. Wow, if I'd known how to crochet when the others were born, I'd always be making baby stuff.... good for me I didn't, lol, I like my shawls, cowls, donations, etc. and baby stuff is fun, but for TEN???! :)
It's amazing how much time you actually put into any piece, even a small project can be several hours! Not that I mind, ya gotta be crocheting something, right?! I just bet most ppl have little clue when we make them something that it took a while, and isn't 'just a bib', for example!

Love the yarn you chose! Will you be sharing a pattern? My 3rd grandchild, 1st grandson will be 4 months old on Monday and I would like to make some bibs in time for introducing solid foods.
Thanks
Karen

Hi Karen, sure, and congratulations on the 1st grandson. This one is #TEN for us, we have 4 kids between us and my stepson loves kids waaay too much! He has 5, incl this new one, twin girls aged 5, and teen boys ages 17 and 18, plus a stepdaughter age 4. WHEW!, not me, 2 kids was plenty, lol, a boy and a girl - done! I usually list patterns and should remember to always do that to give ppl credit for them! Here's the pattern I used by happyberrycrochet. There's no written pattern, just a video for her Scrap Yarn Friday series. She also did the pattern for the letter I put on it. I like videos for things I've never made and I really love to have both video and written to help me with written patterns better.

You can simply add more rows to the body to make a larger bib, which I did so it would last longer than newborn, or be used in am month or so. He weighs 10 lbs already, lol, has gained 3 lbs in less than a month!! I was going to make him a cocoon but fear he might outgrow it before cold weather so am going to wait until the 1st of December before doing that Christmas gift!

I've crocheted for less than 2 years and have made many many things, everything I've wanted to actually, and I learned on youtube but have also taken Craftsy classes, free and paid... point is that I love visual tutorials, because some ppl just can't write patterns well and some are plain hard to figure out due to their nature. I can write patterns and have for a year, I have Ravelry and Craftsy stores of both free and paid patterns.

Anyway, all that said, (sorry, I love to talk crochet and I miss my blog site!), I used Lily Sugar N Cream cotton in Faded Denim. I'd love to make myself a summer top out of this yarn! I'd changed the neck wrapped ending a little next time but this is the one I used pretty much the same as her pattern, trimmed in white cotton, buttoned to close. There are tons of pattern online and these are just some I bookmarked that I like, among many others!

This is a good one by Stitchin Stacy, in video here and also in written pattern in below link by Yarnspiration. She didn't go around the neck completely tho and I like hers a lot for my next one.

Thank you Susan. I have been crocheting for about 45 years and have made way too many things to remember but I loved crocheting and knitting for my 3 kids, as my mother did for us, and now for my 3 grands!

I'm sorry I misread, I see this is your 1st grandSON, my mistake! I bookmarked hundreds of files and then I have a folder to put every file I use in it. then I'll remember, so thx to computers for being able to keep up with things and find them so easily! :) Happy Crocheting!

Love, love, love these bib patterns. I would have loved to have the turquoise and violet ones when my daughter was a baby. All dressed up, even with a fancy bib. I'm going to try to make these. Someone I know has to be having a baby or grandbaby soon. Thanks for all of your posts. You always seem so upbeat.

Hi Donna, You're welcome! I wish I'd learned to crochet more than granny afghans in high school so I could have made things for my kids and other people all these years, but I learned when I was 56.. the bib was fun to make and I might make more :)
