Large Baby Bib
This crochet baby bib pattern is just what you need to keep your little ones from getting their clothes all yucky at the table. It fits comfortably around the neck and ties at the back for a secure fit.
Finished Size
This crochet baby bib pattern is nice and big. You see it modeled on a mannequin for a 6-month-old. It’s fairly big on it, so it should be okay for 1 year olds and older.
The pattern starts off with 10 chains, but you can also start this with 14 or 18 chains if you need to make it even bigger.
Recommended Yarn
I used Bernat Handicrafter Cotton yarn. Not only is this yarn soft enough for babies, but it is also absorbent! Any similar cotton yarn could be used to make this.

Awesome combination of colors! I really like this bib. Thank you for sharing this with us, it is a very nice pattern to follow.
Thank you, I’m glad you enjoyed it. :)
this is a very beautiful bib.. I’m kinda stuck on row 6 though.. How , where do I do the 2 TR Sts.. Any help you can give would be appreciated thanks for posting this wonderful pattern
Hi Colleen, The 2 tr sts are worked into the ch-2 space in row 3. So you go behind your work and stick your hook around the loop and work the tr as normal. I’m not sure how to explain it, but I’ll put it on my to-do list to do a photo tutorial on that. :)
thanks so much for the reply..so the tr Sts will cover the loops above? I will look out for the tutorial thanks
Actually the tr sts are at the back of the above loops. I’m going to try and do some photos tomorrow and post them. :)
Colleen, the pattern has been updated. Please read the note above. Thanks so much and let me know if it helps. :)
Oh my. Sounds difficult, but I’m going to try it. Thanks for sharing.
