Plaid Stitch Pocket Style Baby Bib

Plaid Stitch Pocket Style Baby Bib




 
 THIS BIB! 

This is my favourite bib of all time. They wash well, look great, and are practical. A wood toggle makes a very handsome addition to the collar. 

This is a written pattern, as are all of my patterns. It includes some helpful tips and pictures on working the plaid stitch to help guide you through the process. It is not difficult by any means, and is really more of a pattern than a stitch. You simply alternate between colours and rows. 

The result is clearly lovely.   




Of course, I jumped on the plaid train last year when I saw all those cool plaid hats topped with fur pom-poms. I made a Mommy and Me set for my sister and her little guy, which was very well received, and then moved onto some of my own projects. 

This bib uses Bernat Yarnspirations in red and black and Bernat Cozystyle in burgundy. I love Bernat yarns. They are affordable and good quality. Other yarns, of course, could be substituted, but be sure to check your gauge if using a different yarn. For some projects it really doesn't matter, but to ensure the collar is large enough, I suggest checking your gauge if you choose to use a different yarn for this pattern. 

This project would make the perfect addition to a gift set. Perhaps paired with a blanket, hat, booties, or my Plaid Stitch Baby Sleep Sack. 

A lady purchased this set that I made and had many kind words for me about it.

Polar Bear Hooded Blanket  A Cute Little Crochet Pattern  One thing comes before crochet in my life and that's family. We have 5 amazing children. They are my world!                                         Many of my projects are made for them or with them in mind. This was made for my 5 year old little guy. While I work on a project, they are so interested as it comes along. Always assessing my progress. The joy filled eyes I see when they receive it finished, knowing the time I committed to making it ... what a treasure! We give a little bit of ourselves along with our crochet.   I hope you have as much fun making this as I did. I always appreciate a good, easy pattern that allows you to simply enjoy crocheting.
