Baby Sport Diaper Cover -free crochet pattern-
I had been asked recently to make a baby blanket, and when I was done, I had a bit of yarn left over.
So I was thinking about using up the rest of my baby yarn to make a cute hat and diaper cover set to match the baby's blanket theme. I've never made a diaper cover before, and I didn't think it would be too hard to find a free pattern, and it wasn't...
...except that every single pattern that I found used medium worsted weight yarn, and I wanted to use my baby light sport weight yarn! So that's how this pattern came to be.
This is an easy pattern starting with the top band, continuing all of the way around to the opposite end by using simple hdc stitches. Then the border is worked in sc stitches, and finished off by sewing on 2 buttons. Make it all one color, or add a sporty stripe.
Enjoy!

Oh my heavens! A crochet diaper pattern that I was hoping to find for a few projects-in-mind, and 'free' to boot - thanks so much ... love it and exactly what I was looking for! :0)
ReplyDeleteI am happy to hear this:) Thank you.
DeleteHi there
ReplyDeleteI'm stuck on row 25
Is that a increase row?
Yes, you are correct! From row 25 up, it's supposed to be 2hdc in 1st st. I made a huge typo! Fixing now:) Thank you.
DeleteFixed:)
DeleteDo you have a pattern for this in a size 12 months?? It's adorable!
ReplyDeleteI based this pattern on a diaper cover that I have, so I do not have the exact measurements for a size up. However, I don't think it would be too hard to adjust. Maybe a larger hook size, or (what I would do) is add a few more stitches to each side of the pattern to make it wider, by about an inch (so half inch on each side), this would add a few more rows as well.
DeleteProbably a silly question but do you start the hdc and hdc2tog in same stich as chain 2? I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong but I keep losing stitches! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteWhen you ch2 at the beginning of the row, work the hdc2tog over the very first stitch (same as ch2) and the next st. This decreases 1 stitch.

ReplyDeleteHello,
ReplyDeleteMay I please sell my finished product/s? What name shall I acknowledge?
Thanks!
Absolutely you may! You can give credit to Firene Designs. I only require that for online sales, if you're doing a local craft show etc, no need to credit me:)
DeleteSo nice!! I am going to make a few for my grand daughter. In the future, is it ok for me to sell too?
ReplyDeleteHelp! Mine has turned out massive. It's probably twice the width across the top. Anyone else had this happen?
ReplyDeleteOkay so mine is fine until I SC 36 along first side. Then it says sc2tog in corner and do 14stitches, 2 in corner. How can we do 14 stitches when we originally started out with 17?
ReplyDeleteMine also turned out quite large. I am going to try stopping at row 32 then doing the finishing rows. At the waist line I will overlap the two button strips and I think it will work for a newborn. This was an easy to follow pattern. I am an experienced needle worker and crochet pretty tight but not sure why it turned out so large. I used baby sport yarn and a G hook.
ReplyDeleteI'm really not sure why it's coming out so big for some of you?! The yarn I used was a lightweight yarn, the package says sport, but it's more like a (2) Fine. I was using the Baby Luv Fashion yarn, so I can only think of a difference in the yarn?
ReplyDeletehow do I know where to sc on the border?
ReplyDeletethanks in advance!

This is something that I can use to save some diaper expenses. The pattern is very easy to create and pretty sure my son will be more comfortable wearing this rather than wearing his plastic diaper. Will definitely re-share this pattern to the other moms from http://www.urgentessaywriting.com/write-my-essay-for-me.

Row 14 should not be there. In row 15 you cannot get 26 stitches with a hdc2tog at both the beginning and end of the row starting with 27 stitches. It's impossible. So skip row 14 all together making row 15 row 14 etc...
