Something unique for a shower or baby gift, this set of 5 baby burp cloth designs has elements for both baby boys or baby girls. For little girls, the flowered burps are knit both in a border style and repeating rows. For boys, the manly ‘BURP’ design is displayed across the bottom of one cloth, down the side of another, and sideways on the third. Stripes on 2 of the BURP designs add extra pzazz to these burp cloths.

Easy to knit in DK weight cotton yarn (125 yds each), each cloth is approximately 8x12”. I have found that depending on the manufacturer, DK cotton texture varies from brand to brand, changing the guage slightly. You may experience minor changes in the finished size. But with burp cloths, size is not critical so any cotton or cotton blend will work.

The pattern includes both graphs and written instructions for the designs.
