Crochet Tutorial: Watermelon Baby Bib

Crochet Tutorial: Watermelon Baby Bib

This darling bib protects a baby’s outfit from spills and spit- up. This simple design can be changed by leaving off the seed embellishments and doing alternate color combinations. In less than two hours you can create a refreshingly new gift idea! Definitely a sweet accessory to catch all the mess this fruit is sure to make!
