What size of crochet hook did you use?
Oops! Forgot to include that, sorry. I used an H hook (5.00mm). And the yarn is Lionbrand Homespun.
Thank you so much! I'm having a baby boy and want to make him this to match his fuzzy teddy bear hat I already made him. So cute! Good job and thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks so much for this FREE pattern! I just used it to make a pink one for my photographer friend. I'm wondering if you have any measurements of your finished product. I'm using a different type of yarn and used a slightly larger hook to compensate and, although it looks like the right size, i'm wondering if it really is. Any help would be great since I dont have a newborn to try the size! :)
Kitska - I sent it off to my photographer before I thought to take measurements, sorry! Once I get it back, I'll be sure to post it on here.
Okay. Thanks so much, Casey! I'll check back.
I did my first diaper cover following this pattern! Thanks for posting it <3
Here's the link to my blog so you can see it:
http://yamivazquez.blogspot.com/2012/01/diaper-cover-crochet.html
Yami - I'm so glad you like it! Thanks for the link, yours turned out great! :)
Attempting to make this adorable cover! A few questions?
Are you counting the chain as the first stitch?
Crochet in the same stitch as chain at beginning of the row?
Crochet in the chain at the end of the row?
Sorry for so many questions lol I'm still a beginner on reading patterns!
Hi I'm Lacey- I'm 13 and I've made a million of these diaper covers. but the reason I have is because my friend's mother photographs babies that have passed away during birth if the parents want her to sort of as a memorial photo. So I made some hats from someone else and i make one of these matching diaper covers and I sell them 20$ a set. I was wondering if that was okay with you- I'm really sorry if it isn't and I'll use another if it's not. Thank you- goodbye! ;)
asheborochik - on the first 3 rows you will have 45 across, then after that you will have 23 and will decrease 2 stitches for every row. hope that helps!
Lacey B. - That is fine! I'd love to see pictures of your finished diaper covers though! :) If you have a ravelry account, here is my link: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/newborn-diaper-cover-2
Lovely diaper cover! Just made one! Super easy and adorable!!! THANK YOU! (:
Hey was just wondering if you ever got it back to take the measurements, Thanks for the free pattern it came out great just looks a little small and as I don't have a baby to try it on I need the measurements. Cheers :)
Wow great thanks. I don't have a ravelry account but I'll try to get one soon. Also I'll try and get you pictures ASAP. Bye :3
Teri - Right when I got mine back, I sold it to a friend! Sorry, I'll have to make a new one :) It looks smaller than you'd think, but I put my up against a newborn diaper (the swaddlers kind) and it covers it.
Lacey B. - looking forward to seeing your pics! :)
I love it, what a great idea, thanks for sharing :)
Was wondering if when you sew on the button you go through both layers ~ the flap and the underpiece, as don't see how the underpiece would stay without it?
thanks!
So excited to try this. I am making a hat, baby booties and this cover for a friend. Her baby shower is next werkend and I can't wait for her to see it. Thank you lots!
Thank you so very much, I really do appreciate your instuctions. I'm making my 2nd one now.
Quick question, do u single crochet around the whole diaper cover or just finish the last row with sc?
I am trying to make this with double strands of yarn (which would make it 8 ply and a much bigger hook, size N) a chain of 45 would be way too big. Any suggestions on how to do that?
Jen - I went all the way around to give it a more "finished" look.
Nikki - I haven't tried it with thicker yarn so I wouldn't be much help.
I made this the other day and was just making sure that when finished, the front of the diaper cover should sorta come to a point? the last few rows makes it smaller and smaller correct? Thanks!! It is super adorable!
What does TOG stand for?
Thank you sooo much for the pattern. I wanted to make this for a friend's baby girl. Yours came out great! I pinned it. :)
TOG stands for together - it's a double crochet decrease like a slip stitch is a single crochet decrease. There are some good instructional videos on YouTube that can show you how to do it if you don't already know. It was easier for me to learn by watching someone than reading instructions. Good luck!
Sarah - The front does get smaller, but it doesn't come to a point. If you have a ravelry account, I added the link at the bottom of the post. Check it out to see more pictures of other people's diaper covers.
Amy - So glad you like it! Enjoy! :)
Thank you for this pattern! How many stitches would I increase it to fit a four month old?? I made a few of these with a matching hat you can see them here: http://knottyknotty.blogspot.com/2012/02/little-hat-and-matching-diaper-cover.html
Kristi - Thanks for the link! Yours are adorable! I have not made one of these for a larger size - sorry I am no help!
Can I use this as a base to make newborn diaper cover/ hat sets to sell? In busy mom home crafter quantities. Lol I will probably add more embelishments and things. -Lindsey
I was wondering if you can use this over cloth diapers or just disposables?
Thanks, Kathy
Hi! This is Lindsey again, I love these diaper covers! I have made one with a matching hat and am about to start a hat for another. I am going to blog about it once I finish 1-2 more sets, just to show a variety of options :) I gave ruffly edges to the baby girl one, it's so sweet. Here is my blog url www.knitlessknitter.blogspot.com I will ler ypu know when I put them up.
Kathy - I wouldn't reccommend using one of these covers over cloth diapers. The fit would be too loose to hold moisture in. I have, however, used this free pattern before for my babies and it worked great! http://crochetcastle.blogspot.com/2009/04/easiest-crochet-wool-soaker-pattern.html
KnitlessKnitter - Thanks so much I will check it out!
Hello! I linked you via my blog and posted three diaper covers with matching hats! Feel free to link this entry for picture examples if you like! :) thanks again for the great pattern!

Here is the link^
So I made one (thank you a million times for the pattern) but mine seems really small. What size diaper is this supposed to cover? NB or 0-3 mo.?
New fan. I just made your diaper cover and love it. I found the pattern easy to follow and it turned out amazing. Thank You. You can see my finished product at http://krazymommakreations.blogspot.ca/. Again thanks :)
Hey!
I really like your blog and today I tried your newborn diaper cover. You can check it out here: http://pnutspnuts.blogspot.de/2012/03/photo-requisit-newborn-diaper-cover.html
Thanks for this great pattern!
Greetings from Hamburg, Germany!
I have made several of these diaper covers for baby showers and friends using your FREE pattern and I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE them, thank you so very much for sharing such a great and wonderful pattern
Knitless Knitter, Krazy Momma Kreations, and Peanut's peanuts - Thank you all for the links to pictures of your diaper covers! So glad that the patter worked for you guys and they all turned out great! :)
Jacquelyn - I'm happy to share my pattern, so glad you like it :)
Thanks for the pattern! I'm planning on making these and selling them, so I'll link back to your post and send you some pictures too!
i'm not sure i understand the purpose for the few slip stitches only for one side, i followed the pattern, and it turned out ok to me, but it just seemed confusing.
Mine turned out really small I don't have a newborn to put it on to see if it would fit my measurements came out to be when folded 5in down and 12 across what did everyone else get?
i was wandering because i am at the end and i got kind of stuck when it says to DCTOG 12-19 what does that mean i know what the DCTOG means im just stuck at the 12-19 part and i would like to finnish it for my aunt she is having a baby and she wanted one :)
Hey i just made one of these and im at the part where is says to go all the way around...but my diaper cover looks like it has a stair effect up the side...did i do something wrong or...? just doesnt look right to me
Just finished making one! I loved this pattern! It turned out cute!
THANK YOU for sharing this free pattern. I've been searching for a simple diaper cover for a while- I know they're easy, but I don't actually have a newborn to check the measurements! This was perfect. :)
Love it and so easy!!! One question is there anyway u can put in instructions for larger sizes? Ty so much! Oh i also added ruffles!
Go to youtube and look up Dec dc crochet stitch!
I am working on one of these but to fit my 2t sized 13 month old lol except I am using it as a bikini bottom. I wanted to use peaches n cream cotton yarn & a g hook (same as for my own crochet bikini) so it'd be tight & not too thick. Once i get completely done I'd be more than happy to type it up
How many sc do you start with?
Such a great pattern and works up so quickly. Glad I gave it a try :) Thanks for sharing!
Hi, I am still a beginner at reading patterns. I understand most of it but what does the TOG mean when it says DC2TOG? Thanks for the lovely pattern!
Love this pattern! Used Caron Simply Soft and an I hook. Worked it up super fast while sitting in church :)
Great pattern, thanks!
Thank you so much for posting this pattern:) As I have four pregnant family members and four babies just born in our church this pattern is going to come in super handy and it is so precious.
Love love LOVE this pattern thank you so much! I made this with a coordinating owl earflap hat for a GF that just had a baby, SOOO cute!!! Thanks again:)
I am having trouble with Row 6. It says: 6) CH 2, turn, DC2TOG, DC 20sts, DC2TOG
I do the ch 2 turn dc2tog, its, the dc 20 sts that gets me. I count 20 sts but I have no more room left except the sc from row 4.
This pattern is fabulous, thankyou so much for sharing!
I have Already Made 3 Of these Diaper Covers. Love them. This is the Very Pattern I did On my Own. It was so easy. Thanks For letting Me use This I appreciate it. :-)
I love this pattern! By far the nicest I have seen! Do you mind if I sell the finished product from this? I am a stay at home mom and like to make things for photographers. I wanted to ask before I do though. Yours are soooo cute!!!
Caitlindye, Carol Anne, Gearhart Gang, Sandra Robinson, Jessica, Happyhookermama, and Tash - Thank you all so much for the kind words and I'm so glad that you are able to use my pattern! :)
tempraven - I did that in order for the front flap to be centered.
Corryn - Maybe you could compare yours to the others on my Ravelry page: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/newborn-diaper-cover-2
Heather - I have not written larger sizes...but it looks like Mommy2pipnemm is working on it! :)
Mommy2pipnemm - That would be great! Let us know how it goes! :)
Wendy Riseborough - Feel free to make and sell the diaper covers you make with my pattern! Just be sure to link back to my page so others can find my pattern too :)
Will do! Thanks so much! Your cover is by far the cutest one I have made!
Love it! My diaper cover turned out awesome! Thanks so much for sharing.
Lol I'd like to see that copyright vs when this blog was posted. Took you months to perfect? Get real. If you were being honest, you wouldn't post anonymously and you'd link yours. Don't believe for a second this is your pattern.
Ps. Hands down best diaper cover I've made. Switched it up a bit and used three colors, but turned out perfectly. Will add to ravelry!
I have made quite a few diaper covers from your pattens for friends as part of friends baby shower gifts. They are so adorable! Everyone loves them! Thank you!
Hi there.. very cute diaper cover! I am a beginner at crochet so I dont know all the rules yet. I am having trouble with #7. When i Ch 2 and DC2TOG do i put it in the very first ch or skip one? After I DC2TOG do i put it in the next ch or skip? When I DC and then do the DC2TOG do i put the DC2TOG in the next ch or skip one? Sounds repetitive but im a newbie at this.. Thanks!
Ok update... My rows eventually came to a point so i unraveled and tried to.figure out what I did wrong... I tried to fix it but the rows didn't decrease at all... Is there a good video on YouTube or something to help? I want to send a package out by monday with a diaper cover in it :/

Hey Casey. Love the pattern it's one of the easiest to follow. I wanted to leave you a link to a couple I've actually made to use in baby sets. I always link back to you so people know where to get this pattern. Thanks a ton.
Here's the link (or you can just click on my name next to the comment)

@Allie NeCole - certainly! just make sure to link back to my pattern so others can benefit as well :)
@Amy - adorable sets! thanks for linking! :)
Love this pattern! Thank you! Will definitely link you when I am able to post a photo of the finished product! I used a 5.5mm hook, hoping it'll fit a little longer. Thanks again, it's adorable and super easy and fast to whip up!
Hi Casey, love this pattern. I would like to make this for a 5 month old baby. Could you suggest how to increase to make larger. Thank you.
Love this!! Do you happen to remember the color of the homespun?
so cute, thank you this pattern
Is it all right if I sell the diaper covers I make from this pattern at a local craft fair? love the result!
What is the finished measurements down and across?
@Lchang: I believe it's Rococo, or possibly Pearls, but Pearls is slightly variegated. You can see what Rococo looks like on my baby bear outfit, and Pearls on my bunny outfit.

thanks for sharing
I use a pattern Very Similar to this EXCEPT I attach TWO (2) buttons - one on each side of the top... That way the diaper cover fits several different size babies...
I'm just making one now. .. where do I attach the button?
HI I WAS WONDERING IF I USE REDHEART SUPER SAVER, IF WILL COME OUT THE SAME? THANK YOU
Dear Casey .
I just made my diaper cover after this pattern, and it turned out GREAT. Going to send it of to my photographer this week. Cant wait to se tiny babies in these.
Thanks for a great and easy going pattern - said tom a danish mind. :D
I was wondering if it would be okay with you if a made a translation from english to my language (danish) . ??
Hope to hear from you .
You can see my version here: http://fabrikkenbyk.blogspot.dk/2014/05/hklet-blebuks-crochet-diaper-cover.html
Love TrineK .
will a soft baby yarn work with this pattern?
Great pattern, can anyone please let me know a conversion to make this using a baby yarn, light level 3, using a 4mm G hook. (Instead of the bulky yarn with H). I would be so appreciative, I tried to double the pattern but it's way too large for a newborn when doubled. I am a beginner. ;) Thank you so much.
hi, I was wondering what to do for a 12 month diaper cover
I made one of these a few days ago.. WOW its WAY TO SMALL!!! My daughter had a 7 pnd 8 oz baby girl. It does not fit at all. I then compared to a newborn diaper, laying it out OVER the diaper and UNDER the diaper, its not even close to the correct size.
On row 4 after you turn, do you slip st INTO the 10 sts? I'm a little bit lost?
Thank you for making a newborn diaper cover and posting it for free. I'm making a baby set and this will go perfect with the set I'm making. When I'm finished making the cover, I'll go on your Ravelry account and post a picture. :-)
This might be a dumb question, but I am new to this. What is DC2TOG stand for?
The first 3 rows are actually 44 not 45 if you start your first row in stitch 2 from the hook.
I was wondering what I should do for around 6 to 9 months making for my niece she is a big 5 month old is there any type of formula I can use
Could you provide some insight on how to make the pattern bigger?
What's up with row 4?
SL St in next 10 sts, ch2, DC in next st, DC, next 23 st, leave rest unworked.
Hi! I am fairly new to crochet and I want to make this pattern in 3-6mo or 6-12mo... Does anyone have a pattern for that?
Perfeito! Obrigada♡
I have a issue please I did it its tiny anyway the button goes in center the flap that goes between their legs how is that held on? I fold it up and button the strap is the button suppose to go threw the flap too? Or do u just tuck it under the strao ? Help
Just wondering how I would increase to make suitable for 0-3mths??
Could you help?
Thank you

Could you help?
Thank you
Thank you for sharing this blog with us.
12-19 means DC2tog for rows 12-19.
Oh mylanta...this pattern is one big hot mess. I'm pretty sure it can be figured out by those who know better but for others that may just be beginners....no way....I'm horrible at math too but I don't even think the math adds up when decreasing rows and such. I think in the future, it's nice to continually list the number of rows that you should have for every row to but at the very least, let someone know if you're using the chain as the stitch or not....typically,if you chain 46 in a starting chain (single crochet), you will end up with 45 as your final when crocheting in the 2nd chain from hook.
Thanks for the larger size, do you know what the actual pattern would be for a 3-6 mos? I appreciate it! If not, no biggie, I can trial and error! :-)
Thank you so much, this is my favorite diaper cover, so simply explained. Thanks again

I made this for my sister due Aug 8 with a girl. I used and I hook with #4 yarn.
Would this be good for a doll
It would be so helpful to place a stitch count at the end of each row (xx)
