Crochet Monster Baby Bibs

August 19, 2014

I am having a lot of fun with this new Lion Brand Modern Baby Yarn! The colors are bright, cheerful, and the perfect palette for these fun Crochet Monster Baby Bibs! The yarn is washable so bibs can be worn and washed. Although I would recommend using them for drools instead of foods 🙂

Materials:
– Lion Brand Modern Baby Yarn. I used Purple, Turquoise, Chartreuse, and Yellow. Keep in mind this is a light worsted weight yarn. You can purchase and read more about this yarn HERE. I did use a bit of worsted weight white and black yarn for face embellishments.
– Size H Crochet Hook
– Button or velcro depending how which closure you choose
– Tapestry needle

Abbreviations:
Magic Ring Tutorial
Ch = Chain
SC = Single Crochet
SC Decrease = Single Crochet Decrease
HDC = Half Double Crochet
DC = Double Crochet
TC = Triple Crochet

Bib Pattern:
Starting with color 1 (example: yellow)
Chain 21, SC in 2nd chain from hook and in each chain across, ch 1, turn (20 SC)
Row 2: 2 SC in first stitch, SC in next 18, 2 SC in last, ch 1, turn (22 SC)
Row 3: SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn (22 SC)
Row 4: 2 SC in first, SC in next 20, 2 SC in last, ch 1, turn (24 SC)
Row 5-10: SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn (24 SC)
change to white yarn
Row 10-11: SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn (24 SC)
change to color 2 (example: blue)
Row 12-29: SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn (24 SC)
Row 30 (a): SC in first 10, ch 1, turn (10 SC) – this is the start of your first bib strap
Row 31 (a): SC Decrease, SC in next 6, SC Decrease, ch 1, turn

Row 39 (a): SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn, (4 SC)
Row 40 (a): SC Decrease over last 2, fasten off leaving long tail.
Row 30 (b): Skip 4 SC after your first bib strap in Row 30. Attach yarn and SC over last 10, ch 1, turn (10 SC)
Row 31 (b): SC Decrease, SC in next 6, SC Decrease, ch 1, turn
Row 32 (b): SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn (8 SC)

Row 34-37 (b): SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn (6 SC)
Row 38 (b): SC Decrease, SC in next 2, SC Decrease, ch 1, turn
Row 39 (b): SC in each stitch, ch 1, turn, (4 SC)
Row 40 (b): SC Decrease over last 2, continue to SC around bib. when you get to color 1 at the bottom, you will want to switch to that color and continue to SC around the edge, switch back to color 2 when you reach the other side.
If making a button closure: Chain 8 when you get to the top of the first bib strap (to create a loop), join back to the top of bib strap and continue finishing your SC around the edge.
Sew button on other bib strap for chain loop to connect to.
OR you can sew on velcro pieces. The ones you see in the picture are stick-ons. I will have to find a better solution if I am going to wash it!

Monster Teeth: (make as many as you want!)
Chain 5, SC in second chain from hook, HDC in next, DC in next, TC in last. Fasten off leaving long tail and sew along white row.

Round 4: 2 SC in first, SC in next 2, repeat around, join (24 SC)
Fasten off leaving long tail to sew onto bib.

    This is gorgeous thank you so much for the pattern. I have just made one for a friend's first grandchild but I think mine may have come out a little too big. Would you mind letting me have the measurements of yours?

      and mine came out too small. smh. BUT I am using I love this yarn because I couldn't find Modern Baby, unless I wanted to pay a huge amt for them online (not including shipping & handling)! So I frogged the whole thing and made it bigger, added button holes and then finished it off with a tie string. That way It will grow as the baby does. I however am not sure about sharing a picture of it on FB because I altered her beautiful pattern. I do believe she mentions something about this in the small print at the bottom of the page. but I wouldn't swear to it.

    I was just getting ready to put the sc around the edge and noticed my straps are too short but I followed the pattern. There are only 10 rows making the strap but in the picture there are more like 18. Help please. thanks!

      Hi. Was just going to give pattern to my daughter but noticed comments on straps. Should I leave as original or add rows? Also could you give me an idea of how much yarn to purchase? Love the pattern. Thank you.

      I just made this bib, and there is a mistake in the straps. I was nearly finished, and had to undo part of the outside border, and one of the straps. I didn’t want to undo the other strap, so I made one of the straps extra long to go around the back of the baby’s neck…… Hopefully it will work for my grandson.

    What do you think about using cotton yarn, like for washcloths?

    I just made one for my cousin’s new baby.
    I made the straps longer and narrower though…only 8 SC across and then skipped 8 SC to make 8 SC for the 2nd strap. I made 20 rows long instead of 10.

    Hi =)
    These are so cute! Really nice work, practical and so funny =P
    I was wondering how much yarn you approximately used for the upper part (blue/purple) of the bib?
    The yarn I want to work with, comes in skeins half the size of the one you’re using. Will that be enough, or would I have buy two skeins? =/

    Thanks =)

    I made this today but as I am doing the first strap I notice the whole thing seems very small. I didn’t use the same yarn but it’s thicker so I thought would be bigger. What are the dimensions of your?? Or what is your stitch gauge??
    Thank you

      Hello, I was about to post a similar comment, mine is very tiny but luckily I am making for a tiny baby. However I am noticing the “straps”(?) are really short, and the bib in the picture definitely has more 6sc rows than is written in the pattern, so I added extra rows in mine. I was wondering if this was a mistake? I do hope Sarah is checking these comments as I love the pattern and want to do it correctly.

    What yarn did you use for the white for the mouth? I see you used a different yarn than Modern Baby for the eyes and teeth. I went online last night to buy the yarn but modern baby doesn’t carry a white.

    I made one of these but my boy is a drool machine and I don’t think my wool will hold up in the washer so I made a monster bib inspired hat! Found a generic hat pattern and then used the same colour pattern (purple, row of white, green) then added the eyes and teeth. Turned out super cute!
