Updated by of Unique Baby Gear Ideas

The free knitting pattern for diaper cover that we have for you on this page features cute details and is a comfy way to hide baby's diaper.  The covers can be color coordinated to your baby's dress or diaper shirt completing the outfit.



Basic knowledge knitting such as casting on stitches, knit, purl and crocheting a chain stitch for finishing will be needed to complete this pattern.

This project works up fast (can you say "instant gratification"?) making it a good one for rainy afternoon stash reducing efforts.
