Woven Baby Bib Pattern

Show off your weaving and your favorite baby with a week of handwoven baby bibs. Weave seven unique baby bibs and enjoy seven different experiments in overshot. Your favorite baby will look darling in these easy handmade treasures!

The 4-shaft pattern can be treadled numerous ways to create a fun variety of designs on a single warp. This is a great stash buster project!

A three yard warp makes seven finished bibs. Your warp only needs to be 9.5" wide, making this a quick and fun project for trying out overshot. Bibs are approximately 7¾–8¼” x 8–9” finished. Just two mini cones of Homestead Cotton (600 yds each) are enough for the tabby weave. For the colorful pattern wefts use up thrums of Pearl Cotton, Embroidery Floss, or any machine washable fingering or DK weight yarn (yarn weights 2 or 3).

The project can easily be adapted to create dish towels or a small runner by making the piece longer and weaving the overshot pattern at either end. With easy-care cottons you can throw these in the washer and dryer and they'll still look great.
