Double the Love Bib

What better way to show love for a little one than a bib filled up with hearts? And this bib’s smaller size makes it great for catching both food spills and teething-induced drool! It’s reversible, so you can flip it for the next feeding if the first side gets messy. It’s double-thick, so it’s extra-absorbent. And it fits on over baby’s head, so it’s hard for wee ones to take off by themselves!

Note: This pattern is part of a collection of reversible baby bibs. You can purchase most of the patterns individually or as an entire collection: Flip for the Next Feed

Skills required

• Knitting, purling
• Chart reading
• Cables (explained in pattern)
• Working in the round with DPNs (two circulars or the magic loop technique are also good alternatives)
• Double knitting know-how, including picking up stitches along edges (explained in pattern)

Other materials needed

• 4.5mm needles
• 4mm DPNs (set of 5)
• Cable needle
• 2 stitch holders
• Spare length of yarn about 8” long
• Stitch marker, or whatever else you like to use to mark beginning of rounds
• (optional) Safety pin

Gauge

28 sts (14 per side) and 21 rows to 4” in double knitting stocking stitch on 4.5mm needles

Exact gauge is not necessary since bibs don’t require precise fitting; however, if your gauge is a bit off, it’s better to knit larger than smaller, in order to ensure that the opening for the head isn’t too snug.
