Free Diaper Soaker Knitting Pattern for a Baby Boy or Girl

Updated December 3, 2025 by Jan of Unique Baby Gear Ideas

The free soaker knitting pattern could be unisex but would be the perfect cover for a baby girl's diaper to wear underneath a special dress.  To make it gender neutral simply choose yarn that is non-indicative of sex.

Green, yellow or even lavender would be excellent colors for a shower gift if the gender is not known or has not been announced.



The soaker pattern comes in three sizes, 1 year, 1 1/2 years and 2 years.
