BEGINNER KNITTING TUTORIAL - BABY BIB & WASHCLOTH

Friday, October 16, 2020

THE PERFECT FIRST PROJECT - BABY BIB & WASHCLOTH


You can make a bib AND washcloth using only 1 skein!
I was looking at this classic washcloth pattern that has been turned into shawls, blankets, towels, etc. and I thought, why not a baby bib? All you have to do is make a slit for the neck opening and then bind off a few rows after that and you got yourself an easy, basic (but so cute) baby bib!

This is optional.
