🧽 How To Make This Baby Burp Cloth:
-
Start with a Long Chain:
Use soft cotton yarn that will be gentle on baby’s skin and washable. -
Use Textured Stitches:
Alternate single and double crochet stitches (lemon peel or grit stitch) for both absorbency and a clean look. -
Keep it Flat and Even:
Maintain stitch consistency to avoid curling edges — optional single crochet border helps with this. -
Make a Set:
You can make 2–3 in different colors to create a matching baby set.
