Tiny Birds Nappy CoverTiny Birds Nappy Cover

It was only after I started knitting this cover that I started hearing that knitted nappy covers aren’t really the best idea until after the breastfed poo stage has ended. In Isabelle’s case that was about 14-16 months. Which would make this just a little small, given the birth to 3 month sizing and the rather large children we seem to produce. On the other hand it’s super cute, it was pretty quick and it was stash yarn. Certainly a nice proof of concept. All it needs now is leg trim and ties at the waist and legs. No doubt more pictures to come.

Really? I’ve had people say they use soakers from day one. Did you make it from wool?

It’s super super cute :D

Eh, you don’t need to wait. You may need to wash them more than you want but that’s about the worst of it.

Who cares if it’s practical? That’s just flippin’ adorable!

I agree with the other posters, you may need to wash them a bit more, but we use wool from the beginning and it has been fine. The key is a snug fitting diaper underneath. Too cute!

Very nice! Was this your own pattern? I’m working on one now, apattern off the internet, but it’s not even close to being gas cute as yours.

Too cute! I love the little heart detail.

It’s adorable!! I never had issues with newborn breastmilk poop and cute diaperpants or anything … maybe I put the kids’ diapers on too tight, who knows, but I only ever had a leak once and that was when hubby put the diaper on. LOL

Anyway, very cute and what a great way to use stash yarn! :)

It’s totally adorable! And just because the baby is little doesn’t mean they’ll “leak”, especially if mom keeps a close check on the diapers. That has definite “awwww” factor!
