Bandana Bibs are both practical and stylish accessories for babies. They protect clothes and baby’s skin by absorbing any undesirable liquids, while keeping baby clean and dry. Easily changed and washed, they can cut down on the number of outfits soiled in a day.

The bibs are knitted flat, in garter stitch, with a central double increase that creates the bandana shape. Short rows are used to give the bib more fabric in the front. After a short seam in the back the bibs are finished and ready to be gifted. Using less than a ball of yarn and an hour of time to make, they can be mixed and matched to any outfit, and would make a wonderful gift.
