Measurements for NB wool soaker???

[scheelimama]

Hi ladies,
I've made basic wool soakers from sweaters before, but I always have just got my measurements from dd. I measured her rise and her waist for my triangle measurements. Well, I was wanting to make some nb soakers and I'm not really sure how big to make them. Anyone have some measurements or a link that tells maybe? TIA!

Alisha,

If you can hold on for a couple more weeks, I can get you newborn measurements. LOL =) How big do you expect your new little one to be? I can ask my sister to measure her newborn son James. He is around 9 pounds. Might be a little big, but would give you something to work with. LMK.

Thanks Erin

That would be very helpful. I thought there might be some measurements on the web for free, but I haven't seen any. Are you going to make any wool soakers?

Oooh, never mind. I found a site with measurements. Here's the link in case anyone else is interested:

All the others I found just said to cut a triangle with no specifics on how large.
