Patriotic Bib

Crochet a patriotic bib!   Work the bib in red, white, and blue cotton yarn.  I used the basic single crochet stitch throughout. Instead of chains with slip-stitch for ties, I created straps that button up behind the baby's neck.

Froggy Bib

This cute froggy bib is similar to the ducky bib; pattern for main details, & adjustments similar.
