Ask any new parent and they'll tell you, you can never have enough bibs. Between milk feeds, dribble and the first spoonfuls of mashed carrot, washing them is practically a full time job.

The Robot Bib is my contribution to the pile. It's a blue baby bib with a cream and silver robot on the front, worked in a soft bamboo cotton blend that soaks up whatever comes its way. The idea came from watching my best friend's grandson eat spaghetti one strand at a time, with all the stiff concentration of a robot with a minor fault.

The bib is knitted flat in one piece, so it's quick to knit up and a lovely first intarsia project. The robot is all straight lines and simple blocks, and the instructions are clear and easy to follow. Silver i-cord ties are worked straight onto the neck edge, and you can finish the outer edge with a knitted i-cord or a quick crochet border.

Designed by Jane Burns. I've been creating knitting and crochet patterns for babies and children for 18 years, so you can trust this one is as straightforward to follow as it looks.
