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.

Ducky Bib
Simple to crochet ducky bib. Makes a nice gift.
Pattern is found at www.lionbrand.com, under free patterns, Duckie Bib, pattern # 90156AD.
I used an H hook, and worsted cotton yarn. I worked the pattern as directed, through the first half of row 24, except the ties and the beak.
For the ties, with yellow yarn, I worked 50 chains out from the front left edge, after completing dirctions rhru first half of row 24, and slip-stitched back to main bib, then sc across the 3 sides of bib, worked another 50 chains out from the front right edge, again, slip-stitching back to main bib, then sc across the top of the bib, ending where row 24 finished. Cut & weave in ends.
For the beak, with orange yarn, ch 10, sc in first ch from hook, hdc in next 2 chains, dc in next 3 chains, hdc in next 2 chains, and sc in last chain. Work sc in each stitch around the other side, ending with slip-stitch, leaving a long tail of yarn to allow for sewing the beak on the bib.
For a final touch, I put a single white stitch in each eyeball, to replicate eye reflections.
This bib makes a great gift for a newborn. You can also create the bib in various colors to represent other animals and create faces accordingly. Let your creativity flow!
