FO: Baby Bandana Bib

Baby Bandana Bib

Pattern: My own
Yarn: Garnstudio DROPS Paris, ΒΌ x 50g in colour: #20
Needles: 4mm circs (used flat) and dpns (for i-cord)

Rose is a champion dribbler. The boys were dribbly in their own way, but she really takes drool to a whole new level. I wanted a more elegant solution than tying a muslin around her neck, but after a brief search on Ravelry, all the bibs tended to be huge squares of knitting, which I didn’t really want. Much like the fabric bibs available in the shops, when even the smallest, plainest ones look like she’s preparing for a three course dinner. So necessity being the mother of invention, I designed my own. :-)

It’s just a simple triangle worked from the bottom up until it was wide enough, and an i-cord fastening. It’s the perfect size to mop up dribbles and being cotton should be splendidly absorbent. Ideally, I would have used dishcloth cotton if I’d had any to hand.

It was a majorly quick knit, so I plan to churn out a couple more with other cotton oddments I have, so that she’s a stylish baby without a wet patch around her neck. :-D

  1. What a brilliant idea! It looks just the perfect shape and size. And, of course, Rose looks splendid in it. I love the way your girl smiles!

  2. Ahhh!! She’s so cute . . .and lovely idea!

  3. This is a fabulous item! A must for every baby’s wardrobe. Well done on the design, I think it’s fabulous! You must put it up on Ravelry, I’m sure there are lots of mothers out there who would love to make this. Just imagine: you can call it Rose’s Bib! which I think has a lovely ring to it.

  4. I am going to show my “I’m from the Western U.S.” roots here, but I saw that picture and immediately thought, “Yippee -I-Ki-Yi, get along little Cowgirl.”

    TOO cute.

  5. Awww, so cute!! You should put the pattern up – every baby needs a Baby Bandana Bib! :-D

  6. I love this little bandana!! It’s funky and cool and you should write it up as a pattern… :d
