I have been looking for some awesome crochet baby bib patterns and I’m glad I have found this one. That Vintage Baby Bib will surely get a very good impression to most mothers because it is really pretty as well as that Round Baby Bib. But since I am looking for the most awesome one, I think that Domo-Kun Bib is exactly what I have been looking for. My friend has a lot of Domo Collectibles and I think she will love to have it too. What do you think? Well, thank you for sharing those unique crochet baby bib it will surely help a lot.

I would love to have the pattern of the baby bibs especially # 7 and 8. My mother crocheted one that was similar to #8 and she has passed and I can not find one of the bibs that she made. I hope you will forward the patterns and I certainly would appreciate them.

Hi Helen! I cannot forward the patterns as they are not mine to give, but you can just click on the names of them, and it will take you right to the pattern pages. 🙂
