nice and easy…love it
Can you explain row 28? I don’t understand what you mean by “continue on the back part of the diaper”. Do you HDC 27, then join with the front of the diaper, then HDC 27 more? Thanks!
I am having the same issue. I don’t understand row 28.
Hi Mariah!
Start on the front part of the diaper cover and work 1 hdc into each of 28 sts. Then continue your work on the back side of the diaper cover. Again, work 1 hdc into each of 28 sts. Finish the round with the ss made into the very first st of this round, so into first st on the front part of the diaper cover. Please check the picture below round 28, I think it can be a big help. 🙂
Row 27 you are working on the back part of the diaper so if row 28 you are suppose to start on the front, do you cut the yarn after row 27? Directions should be rewritten. I’m so confused.
No, you just continue with round 28; you switch working from working in rows to working in round. 🙂
Is there a way to do this for a 12 month old?
Hi! I would try to use a larger crochet hook and a thicker yarn. 🙂
Good luck! 🙂
Medidas por favor!
I’m just learning how to crochet and your pattern was so easy to follow. I made for my first greatgrandaughter that is due in July. so cute! Thank you for sharing
Did it fit her?
I’m Nearly finished mine and it looks small?
Can you make this for boys as well
This pattern is for boys and girls. You can use any colors you like. 😀
Great pattern. Easy to read. Easy to make. Thank You
Hi. I was wondering how to make this a little bit bigger for a chunkier baby. I made it for a 1 month 1/2 year old but she barely had any room
Use the same pattern, but try to make the diaper cover with a larger crochet hook and a bit thicker yarn. 🙂
Love your baby bloomer pattern! Made for my great granddaughter.
I am still very confused about how to start round 28. The last row (27) is on the back. How do I all of a sudden start on the front for round 28 if we don’t cut the yarn and start on the front? The picture isn’t helping me unfortunately. Help please!
When you finish all 27 sts on the front side of the diaper cover, fold the fabric in half and you will get the front and back side of the diaper cover. When you have that, place the fabric in front of you – back side up. Do not skip or add any stitches, and continue crocheting on the back side. When you complete all 27 sts on the back join the round with a ss made into the very first st of this round on the front side of the diaper cover. With completing this round, you join the front and back side of the diaper cover together.
Good luck! 🙂
Well I made one, well and I’m wondering is it meant to be so small? The pattern was confusing to read but it looks super cute
Hi Amilia! This is a newborn size. It’s supposed to be small. 😀 What are the measurements of your finish project?
Reading thru pattern, sounds so easy can’t wait to get started! Thanks for sharing!
can this be made printable?
Is there a way to print this pattern or can I buy the pattern to print it? Thanks
Unfortunately, this one does not exist as a printable PDF file. 😐
How to add ruffles to diaper cover for newborn girl? Help
By creating more than one stitch into each stitch from the row below. 😊
Using Caron Simply Soft yarn. Followed beginning chain. Should I add more stitches to chain? It is small
.looks like it would fit a preemie. Or should I use a thicker yarn? Please help.
If you think your finished object is too small, start with a larger crochet hook. If you like the fabric and the spaces between the sts are not too big, continue. If not, use a thicker yarn. 😊
