My dream pattern? Little Turtle Knits Ribby Wrap. I love how easy and trim fitting it looks.
Anyways, I made this crochet wrap out of stuff I got from Amanda for other projects... ((sorry, Manda!!)) Pattern is free from Tickle Turdle.
I hate to say it, but I didn't really like this pattern too much. I find it a bit bulky in the crotch, and it doesn't necessarily stay over the diaper very well. This wasn't a good wool choice for it either. Too heavy, I think. And, most telling of all, Eph hates it. He walks like a cowboy who's been on a horse too long when he has it on!
It also has a weird bum bubble too...
Now, I am amazed that the thing, as long as it completely covers the entire diaper itself, is totally waterproof. Overnight toddler gallon pee water proof. That part was awesome.
So, then I tackled this one from Tiny Birds.
I think that the right leg hole is a bit bigger than the left... I crocheted to rows of singles around each leg, and then one row of doubles. My advice would be to count the number of singles you do on the first leg, and duplicate that on the second!
It covers the cloth diaper quite nicely. I used some wool that I got from my Gramma eons ago for this one. It was a bit rough until I washed it. I did a short cycle on hot, and it felted just slightly. Made it really really soft too. I'm impressed. I think it must be some kind of barn wool, because occasionally it had bits of twigs and stuff in it.
He's much more comfortable in this one, that's for sure! It just seems so huge. That must be something I'll have to get used to.
Next on the agenda?? This one. It's a seriously simple pattern. We shall see how it turns out!
You know, that Little Turtle Knits Ribby Wrap pattern would make a great Christmas present.... yes, yes it would!
