Notes

I’m using the Malabrigo for the garter stitch edging and making a 2 row stripe on the front flap. I’m carrying the yarn across the back in order to get just the edging in yellow. It’s making the center fabric denser, but I’m okay with that since I tend to have heavy wetters.

My changes: I’m going to add one, possibly two rows of snaps, to allow for growth instead of using Aplix or buttons (I’m not a fan of either for covers). I’m planning to add a small strip of fabric to the back sides to add stability for the snaps.

Update 4/28: Fabric and snaps are in place and I’m currently lanolizing it! I can’t WAIT to try this on my little man after he’s born!!
