Tiny Birds Nappy CoverTiny Birds Nappy Cover

Pattern: Tiny Birds Soaker. Heart from Bikini pattern in Stitch’N'Bitch.
Yarn: Lincraft Cosy Wool 8 ply.
Needles: 4mm Addi turbos and the only metal crochet hook I own (no idea what size it is).

Adding the trim to this thing was a complete pain in the proverbial. The pattern said to add the leg edging after “partial” felting. My soaker has come out the exact size I expected but it seems quite a bit more than partially felted to me and the only way to get a crochet hook through it was by drilling holes with a needle first. I also thought it looked cuter without the ties but have stuck with them as they will probably be necessary… I don’t think I will be making any more of these until this one has been tested, but if it works out I will definitely make a bunch more - if I have time.

Very cute! The trim was worth it in my opinion. Hope you’re feeling good!

Again, lovely. I tried to respond to your email the other day, but it bounced. So I didn’t get to tell you that I was doing the free pattern from Tiny Birds. I do think I want to try the pattern you have, but we’ll see. I just finished mine if you want to see it on my blog. (Sorry, not trying to advertise, just thought you might want to see.) The pattern I used doesn’t call for the string around the leg openings. I wonder how much of a difference it will make. Okay, take care! Hope you and babe are well.
