Wool diaper covers are the best protection against wetness over a cloth diaper that you’ll find. This pattern has evolved over the course of many months of personal use and through selling knitwear to people online - and getting rave reviews. All the variations will serve you equally well. Throughout the pattern I give tips for how to adjust it to get the best fit for your needs, but if you run into something I don’t address please contact me and I’ll help you out. There is also a detailed size chart to help you, and many clear photos.

I would call this an experienced beginner pattern, as there are a few things not found in the standard beginner pattern, such as a wrap and turn and grafting. They are knit in the round, with the only seam being across the front. Legs are picked up and knit with DPN’s.
