Knit Bib Patterns

Grammy Duo pattern
Down Cloverlaine blog

Looking for a quick and attractive gift for a baby? Then look no further than Down Cloverlaine where Elaine generously provides her cute bib and cloth patterns (and a couple of sweaters and some accessories, too) free for interested knitters.

Click on the blog link above and then explore the pattern list in the righthand colum on Elaine's blog.

While bibs like the Grammy Duo, shown above, are decorative, many others have seasonal and/or delightful characters knit into the basic bib pattern.

You will find that most designs are available for both bibs AND cloths. For example, here are the links to a cute squirrel bib and cloth, and an adorable moose bib and cloth.  Bibs are shown below.
