Soaker Pantie Vintage Knitting Pattern |
For a medium-sized diaper cover, you'll need size J crochet hook and 4 oz. yarn. Cast on 55 stitches, crochet for 6 1/2" (16.5cm).
Attach a 2nd crochet piece 10 stitches wide, 2" (5cm) long.
This is the crotch area, which can be crocheted with a smaller hook to make it tighter
.
Increase 5 stitches on both sides of this attached strip and continue crocheting for another 6 1/2 inches (16.5cm).
Fold up and join together sides. Make a crochet drawstring, as above, and thread through waist.
These pants can grow too! As baby grows, simply open side seams and add an inch or two around each panel.
(Use size D and E hooks for small, F and G for medium, H and I for large and J and K for xlarge)
