A double knitted baby bib has many advantages. 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, not to mention extra-durable! As well, all the bibs in this book are constructed “dickey”-style – they fit on over baby’s head, so it’s hard for wee ones to take off by themselves!

- Zombaby: Sleep-deprived parents can sure feel like the living dead

Yarn recommendations
Bibs should be made from a yarn which is washable, absorbent, and durable. Yarn with a high cotton content is recommended. All the sample bibs in this book were made from 100% cotton yarn.
