Babies are notorious for making messes. Meal time can often be an experience between how much food is consumed versus how much food ends up all over the kitchen.

Today’s tutorial is this Fine Dining Bow-tie Bib. This week we launch a series of baby boy related crochet items. The introduction starts with this cute and very simple accessory.

Bibs make wonderful gifts, and although this has been designed with a boy in mind, a few modifications can transform this bib into a gender friendly piece for boys or girls. Be sure to protect those cute clothes underneath with this fashionable cover-up.

Follow instructions below for the video tutorial and written pattern.
