Easy Soaker Knitting Pattern

Updated December 10, 2025 by Jan of Unique Baby Gear Ideas

Here we have an easy, free knit diaper cover pattern, number 4. in our series.  This soaker pattern is sure to be a standout favorite with our knitting friends.

There may be a close tie between it and the "little boy legs" diaper cover pattern as far as comfort is concerned.

However, this one wins hands down in cuteness factor. Take a look; it is, as far as soakers are concerned, adorable.
