Five years ago, I blogged about my love for the Leigh Radford Petal Bib pattern in One Skein. I think I ended up making 3 – 4 petal bibs in 2010, and I picked up the wonderful pattern again this past summer (2015) to make bibs for baby Ella. Ella was a summer baby, so making my standard rotation of winter-friendly items didn't seem to make much sense. I searched for year-round patterns and was very excited when I re-discovered the adorable petal bib pattern.
The pattern was still as fun today as it was years ago. Constructing each cute petal individually and then connecting them together really makes for a fun project to see develop. I made two petal bibs for Ella, and both yarns were fun to work with – one a more drapey cotton-bamboo blend and the other a soft wool. Project details follow the pictures below. I can't wait to make more of these cute gifts!
