This crochet bib is handy for small babies, because you don't need to keep the baby's head lifted while you snap the bib. It doesn't have strings which can cause a choking hazard if it gets stuck on the high chair, so is safer than a bib with ties.


I hope you enjoy the free pattern. Crochet several and save them for future baby showers and gifts for the newborn.
