This pure cotton bib works up easily and quickly, and the horizontal ribbed effect gives it a lovely texture. It can also be embellished with any number of appliqués, if desired.

The written crochet pattern (in US terms) calls for Aran cotton yarn in one colour - although the bib would look lovely in stripes of different colours also.

The only additional materials required are a darning needle with which to weave in ends, and a single press stud to fasten the bib at the back.
