I decided to find a pattern that I liked to make some bibs for my daughter...
Little did I know that I would quickly become OBSESSED!!!
Seriously. I have made, like, 20 of these.
Here is the pattern.
I used Lily Sugar & cream for the majority. Once I used some Knitpicks Dishie, I used that more frequently. The end result was so much softer after laundering! The Sugar & cream can get a little stiff, as I lay them flat to dry. Otherwise, the edges curl under.
Probably, a press would work worlds better, but I don't have the time on account of the children.
The thing I might change if I made any more... making the garter edge more than 3 stitches. I think that might help with some of the curling under business.
Here's how some of mine turned out!
(Of course that's my Z modeling!)
I also did a few variations :
(Sheep and cabled owls!)
I have so much fun with these! After making one or two, the pattern sticks with you. I was able to knock out about one a day at first, then after a few were done, it only takes a few hours.
And... they are adorable!
