Newest Crochet Bib

Here is my newest creation for Etsy. This bib is 100% my own pattern and I'm very proud of it. It took quite a bit more time than my other crocheted bibs because the yarn I used was a lot finer, so it took more stitches. Plus, it's bigger.

I'm really proud of the edging I made. I was looking up edgings to do and started one, but I didn't like it. So I decided to do my own type of edge.

The idea for it was born out of a mistake! (Aren't all great discoveries that way?). I didn't want to bulk up the neckline of the bib, so when I crocheted around with the green, I just slip-stitched. What I didn't realize was that when I went to put the white around, the slip stitches caused a ridge of green to appear on the back of the bib and that made the white stitches stick straight up. I wish I had taken a picture. It looked horrible. So, this edge was created by double crocheting with tan in the back ridge area behind the white single crochet and then single crocheting in the white single crochet. You do this all with the wrong side of the work facing you. I think I will write up a pattern for it in pattern format and maybe sell it. :) You all get a free bonus for reading my blog!
