free patterns you've found for soakers and pants

[GranolaMoon]

Seems like there's been a couple asking recently, and I know I've been scouring the web for them :LOL Add your own! Not all of the ones I found are intended as cloth diaper covers, but in wool they look like they'd work fine.


soakers
Punk Knitters soaker pattern
Fern and Faerie soaker patterns
Tickle Turdle, crochet "wrap" soaker
Knitty.com- girly bikini set
"nappy pants"

pants
Knitty.com cargo pants
"preemie" pant and tank top set
baby leggings this one uses snaptape on the inseam.. s'pose you could drop a few stitches on that edge and just sew it up

misc stuff that could be worth trying
crochet "diaper shirt" onsie type thing
beach shortalls I'd love to try making long pants on this one for winter time
"Tutu onesy" This would also be adorable with long pant legs for winter.
bee jumpsuit


Someone add the Tiny Birds pattern?? It's in my IE favorites somewhere... aol tries to die when I open it

[GranolaMoon]

Even after seeing all the free patterns one can find online, I've *got* to get some paypal together and get some wahm patterns :LOL

I honestly haven't done any free diapering patterns -- I may try the fern and faerie one, though... So far I've been completely happy with the LTK patterns! And I love the forum over there. Between that and here, I've had all my knitting questions answered!!

[ZeldasMom]

Wow--you were very thorough!

I absolutely that crocheted onesie!!!!!!! I am going to spend a few days with my stepmother next week and I am very tempted to have her show me how to crochet so I can make one. I can't figure out what kind of yarn that is though. I did a Froogle search for "Super Soft Baby Yarn" which didn't help. I assume it's a cotton or an acrylic. Have no idea of the weight of the yarn either.

I notice several of these patterns are knitted in cotton. I wonder how easily you can get away with just knitting them in wool of the same weight? I check ed out out some MinnowKnits pattern books from the library and they have some really cute pantaloon style pants knit in cotton, that I would love to do in wool if it would work.

Of the free patterns I have only done the F&F soaker, and I really like it! I am thinking about upgrading to the pay pattern because then you have more flexibility with yarn/needle choices. Plus you get a pants pattern with it. OP, I love the other WAHM patterns too! It's nice to get something that you know will work with CD and the pattern support is especially good for newbies like me.

I don't know if this one is here or not...

doodlepants

[earthcore]

Here's another one: http://www.ottobredesign.com/en/prin...r_cover_en.pdf

This is a super easy pattern and the end result is very thick and absorbant - great for nighttime.

[Snazbot]

I've done the "tutu onesey" one... in wool, without the ruffle, and with a few other adaptations cuz I just can't seem to bring myself to stick to a pattern without changing it :LOL It's worked well. Diaper cover and complete outfit in one. Wahoo!

My tot refusing to remain still for a good pic in it

[NullSet]

This would be great as a Sticky...hint, hint. I've got so many of these darn things bookmarked they've taken over my folder!!

What did you use for yarn?

Thanks!

[liawbh]
