Girlie Baby Bib

I whipped up this cute, "Girlie Baby Bib," this morning using Crafter's Secret Cotton yarn for my little niece, Kaeleigh. She is expected to arrive in a few short weeks.

Updated note: 
This is sized more for a newborn.  If you want to make this for an older baby, then go up on your hook size.
