Purple Diaper Cover / Soaker, NB (knitting)
Trying this project again with slightly smaller needles to see if I can get a tighter fabric. I’m OK with the project being slightly smaller than the first one.
Because my last one used almost exactly 100g of Knit Picks Wool of the Andes, I decided to use a complementary purple partial skein for the waist and leg cuffs, and a full skein for the body. I expect a very small amount of leftover yarn.

Done! And it looks SO much better than my last diaper cover — changing the needle size (and actually using a 16” circular vs fudging it with magic loop) really seemed to help keep the ribbing nice and stretchy.
I ended up with scrap yarn of the partial dark purple ball I had (I lost the label, so the actual color is a mystery), and had about half the ball of Amethyst by the end. I used the teensy weensy scrap of Tidepool Heather from my first diaper cover as an accent before doing the ribbing.
