My first completed item!-Bib

[tinkerpuppet]

I just finished this bib for my 11mth old son last night. He has a habit of pulling off all his velcro-close bibs, so this one is perfect because it fits over his head. I learned increasing, decreasing and joining with a whip stitch (although I think I need to work on that one!). Plus it has this cute cable stitch in rows down the front. Its a little big now, but he'll grow into it. And I think I'm going to try to make another one that is a little smaller. It worked up really fast and will be a cute gift for friends babies.

great job!I always loved the bibs that go around the kids neck. We always used those terricloth ones.

YAYAY, congrats on your first completed project! And it's something you'll get good use out of too! It looks so good on your son, with his red hair and all! Get going making some more. He'll use em up right quick

Great work on ajob well done! Completing your first project is so exhilarating!

[Qmare]

Very nice. Wow... you should see the first thing I ever made... not so great! Yours looks great!

[Tampa Doll]

Ohhhhhhh he looks like he is thinking up ways to get back at you for making a bib he can not pull off.

 

What a cutie and I love that bib. Great Job.

He is SOOOOO adorable!!! He looks like a very sweet and thoughtful child!

and the bib looks great too!

[Lavelle26]

I love that bib. Such a great idea for gifts. Your son is adorable too. He looks good in that bib!!

[tinkerpuppet]

Awww, thanks everyone!! I love it, and he didn't seem to mind at all. Didn't try to pull it off once. I think maybe because its not chafing his neck at all.

 

I'll definatly be making more

[Chiscrochetcrazy]

Great job on both the baby & the bib

[momofgmd]

Congratulations on your first completed project! Your son is adorable . . . and so is the bib.

[insurechick]

Good job! What a cutie!!

[Crochet Garden]

you did a great job on it!!! btw what is your secret in keeping your little one in the high chair?? I think my daughter is anti-highchair ... she already now climbs up into it and down everytime it urn back for even 5 secs!

[vernzap]

First, congrats on completing your first project! It looks great. Second, your son is a complete cutie.

[crochetmama]

Jennifer, what a wonderful first project! I sure wasn't doing front and back post cable stitches on my first, second, or 20th project!!

I love the idea of having the bib fit right over the head. What a marvelous idea! To bad it wasn't around when i had a baby....but then again I wasn't crocheting back then either. I also like the way you put a contrasting thread around the outside of the bib as well.

 

Way to go, Girl! You done good!

[wyldflrs]

You did great job on the bib and you son is really cute!

[mamaoso]

Great job on the bib... the red head...

[tinkerpuppet]

Thanks so much everyone! I am very proud of it, its just a little something, but its soooo useful, and has given me the confidence to try something a little more challenging now. I am definatly making more though, one only lasts one meal with my son.

 

Etaria - hee hee, I have to laugh at the mental image of your daughter escaping 'The Chair'. There's a big plastic crotch bar, plus a waist strap to keep my son in. He wiggles, but so far hasn't managed to get out, whew!

[grandkids]

The bib turned out just great. Good job!! :clap Your son is so adorable:c9

 

Now that you have finished your first project I am sure you are like the rest of us, Hooked for Life:hook :hook

[Sabra]

That's very nice, much better than just about all of the baby bibs I've seen online. What kind of yarn did you use?

[pidot]

Oh, he's so cute

[tinkerpuppet]

Sabra, I used Bernat's Handicrafter Cotton. I needed something that wouldn't show stains too bad (the verigated yarn is perfect) and something durable. Its not scratchy at all either. It will shrink some, which is probably a good thing, the neck hole is a bit large. It might fit better after a wash. I have a bit of a cotton addiction, I love it!
