crocheting wool soakers

[AuntDebbie]

Is anyone else out there crocheting wool soakers for their wee ones?? I would love to chat with others who use wool soakers- crochet or knitted. I do both but am crocheting some right now.

i have a friend that had knitted some and uses them, she is now trying to potty train and i think uses them a lot. they are so cool.

I don't mean to sound stupid, but what is a soaker?

[AuntDebbie]

It is a wool diaper cover.

I love my knitted ones, I even have some that are from recycled wool sweaters. I heard that crocheted ones are better for night time and heavy wetters- due to being thicker than knit.

Ah, thank you!

[AuntDebbie]

no problem.. :-)

I actually crocheted some with acrylic. They work just as good but aren't antibacterial like wool is supposed to be. I'm a laundry freak, so I'd wash wool just as much anyway. Here's a picture:

 

 

They are made with Caron Simply Soft using the Dandelion Dreamers pattern.

I have knitted soakers but haven't crocheted any, which is funny because crochet is my first love and Patti who sells the dandelion dreamers pattern is my friend. I also belong to another forum that is all about wool soakers, wooly wonders forum.

they are beautiful.. I have this pattern and it is what I am working on.

thanks for sharing..
