My sister-in-law Lea is a newbie knitter who had a brilliant idea for an infant bib shaped like a strawberry. I thought it would be the perfect spring knit so sat down to write one out. Here it is!
An adorable infant (0-12 months) sized drool bib, knit in wool and written especially for the new knitter. All knit stitch, with only one purl row, features row by row instructions with the beginner in mind.
This is a good pattern for practising/learning basic increases and decreases. It’s knit flat and all in one piece for minimal assembly. No i-cords or multiple pieces.
Strawberry shaped bib body with a vine tie, green leaves, and a cute strawberry blossom.
And now spring can officially begin because I’ve got my strawberry plants in the garden and this bib cast off the sticks. Thanks for the suggestion Lea and keep on stitching!

Lea’s Strawberry Bib

Difficulty Level: Easy- Beginner
Size: Infants (0-12 months)
Yarn: Cascade 220
- Bright Red and Spring Green for bib
-small amount white and yellow for flower
-Approx. 50 yards or less of red and 25 yards or less of green
Needles: pair of US 6 straight needles, 12”length should be fine.
(I used a US 5 but I knit very loosely)
Gauge: about 5 sts per inch but gauge really doesn’t matter here..it’s a drool bib.
Notions: yarn needle and stitch marker. Crochet hook 3.5mm if you want to make the flower, or a small store bought felt or fake flower with thread and needle to stitch it on. Optional: 12-15 tiny yellow seed beads and bead needle for “seeds”.
Pattern Notes: Pattern features basic increases and decreases- KFB and K2tog. Basic cast on and cast off. Knit in one piece. Basic crochet skills needed for flower.
