Arfy’s NB/SM Fitted Diaper The diaper on the left (dinosaurs) is from Arfy’s NB/SM fitted pattern. It’s supposed to be a turned & topstitched diaper, but I made it with my […]

My cousin is expecting a baby and, after browsing their registry, I noticed a lot of elephant-themed items. So I had to find something elephant-related that I could gift for their shower. 🙂

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.
