What is your favorite free snap fitted pattern?

It's Finnish, it's free, and it works! I alter some aspects, but it's a good pattern. I like the pockets that cover the hook side of the velcro; saves on having to sew on more of the loop side for laundering.

Oops- sorry, it's not a snap pattern, but maybe could be altered to be one?

I like this one the best also. It runs just huge! But you can always snap it to make it smaller.Just don't use velcro, and put the snaps on later.

my favorite free has to be wee wika:

This is small/medium http://www.thenappynetwork.org.nz/im...SMSideSnap.pdf

This is medium/large

It fit so trim for us, my monkey man was pretty smallish and thinnish, and it worked very well. I didn't even feel the need to purchase a pattern when I was cloth diapering him from about 9 months to about 2.5 years. It just wasn't necessary because wee wika worked so well.

I know you're looking for free, but honestly, the Chole Toes pattern is SO amazing. Love it!

And by the way- both of the patterns mentioned above look GREAT!!!!! Can't wait to try them out!!

You don't have problems w/ the fold over elastic getting soiled? I guess it wouldn't be an issue for fitteds, but what about w/ the AIOs and pockets? It seems like it'd wick moisture to clothes...

So far we've never had a problem with leaks or wicking; it seems the the fleece on the inside really does a good job of soaking everything up. These are by far my most favorite diaper, and we only use the AIO and pocket version. DS is a skinny little dude, and Chloe Toes fit him wonderfully. My sewing machine is broken right now, so I've been getting my Chloe Toes fix from a seller called Katnappies on etsy. They are very reasonably priced, and it might be a good idea to buy one and try it out before investing in the pattern and FOE.

Hope that helps!

Thanks - I might check that seller out! I haven't tried my hand at diapermaking yet, I'm still in the learning stages.
