I generally use a knitting pattern only once. My approach the past ten years has been that there are so many wonderful patterns out there (and so many ideas in my head) that it's just not a good use of my limited knitting time to make the same thing more than once. I think though that I've evolved into a more flexible knitter upon finally trying both the Baby Hat and Petal Bib patterns in One Skein. I've already made two petal bibs over the past few weeks, and I think I'll be making many more in the years to come! The pattern requires a relatively small amount of yarn, is incredibly quick to knit and is super-adorable! It appears this is the winning combination for ensuring that these will continue to fly off my needles! Project details follow the picture of the Petal Bib I made for baby Abigail.
Abigail's Petal Bib
Yarn: Approx. 1/4 skein of Knit Picks Shine Sport in Silver Sage (Color #8062, Lot #7548)
Needles: Size 3 circular for bib; 2 size 3 dpns for attached i-cord
Post-Blocking Measurements: Longest petal was 5 inches from top to bottom of the bib, the smallest petal 3.5 inches from top to bottom, bib was 9 1/4 inches wide at its widest point, and the i-cord was 12 3/4 inches long on each end of the bib. This bib slightly shrunk in the machine washing/drying blocking process.
