Crochet Monster Baby Bibs

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

  8. 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.

    • 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.

  18. 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.

  19. 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 =)

  20. 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.

  23. 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.

  24. 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!
