Crochet Diaper Cover Pattern

Crochet Diaper Cover

So, I haven't actually tested this on Joshua yet, but it does fit him after all is said in done. For a size reference, he is 4 months old, 25 1/2 inches tall and 15 lbs, 2 ounces. It does have some room to spare on him, so I would guess this could fit a bigger baby also. The waist is completely adjustable.

Put the large button in the middle

To prevent wing droop, fasten two small buttons to the corners of the front

To prevent leg gaps, fasten two more small buttons approx. 8 rows from the top. These small buttons attach in the edging you did.
