Wool Soakers-Pull up vs. Snap or Velcro Closure?

[robin-ma]

I've decided to try prefolds with wool soakers for our first cloth diapering try with our little one who is expected in December. I'm currently making a wool soaker with a hook and loop closure from a free pattern I found on lionbrand.com.

But, I see a lot of patterns for wool soakers that are pull-ups. (I haven't found any free ones yet though) What do you wise mammas think about pullups vs. velcro or snap closures for wool soakers? What are the benefits and downfalls for you of each?

And, if you know of a free pattern for a wool soaker pull up for beginners, I'd love to see it.

Thank you very much!

Join ravelry for free and cheap patterns! I like pull up, not sure why though. I've had couple wrap style commercial covers I liked. One easy popular pattern is Curly Purly: http://www.curlypurly.com/pattern.html, though below is a link to a thread with many free patterns

Thank you so much! Ravelry and the pattern you linked to both look great!

My top favorite soaker pattern is the snapdragon soaker. Its free on ravelry, its knit in the round, and very easy. I just learned to knit when I was preg w/ my ds, and it was easy to understand
