Every girl needs a bit of lace, and there’s no reason to wait until they grow up. This diaper cover has a lacy twirly skirt with a modified feather-and-fan pattern. The part underneath the skirt is knit in a contrasting colour to bring out the details of the lace. Because this is knit in DK wool, it’s a relatively quick knit. The details of the lace and the shaping of the cover itself are just varied enough to keep a knitter interested, with pleasantly relaxing stockinette parts in between to allow your mind to dwell on the perfect accessory to go with this adorable little skirt.

You’ll need a circular needle to give you the right gauge (suggested size: 3.5 mm). You may need to magic loop or use two circulars, especially for the smaller size soaker. You’ll also need (a) circular needle(s) or DPNs one size smaller (suggested size: 3.25 mm) for the legs (depending on your preferred method of knitting smaller tubes), a yarn needle, some stitch markers and some smooth waste yarn in a contrasting colour.
