This densely-knit soaker-style diaper cover is made of 100% wool and Ruffles yarn. It is perfect for daytime wear over fabric or disposable diapers. Got a boy? Just omit the ruffles and use the optional leg cuff pattern for a more manly look on these little pants.

Baby Abby's Ruffled Bloomers

Lion Brand® Lion® Wool - Ruffles®

GAUGE:

22 sts x 28 rows = 4 in. (10 cm) in stockinette stitch with A BE SURE TO CHECK YOUR GAUGE. When you match the gauge in a pattern, your project will be the size specified in the pattern and the materials specified in the pattern will be sufficient. If it takes you fewer stitches and rows to make a 4 in. [10 cm] square, try using a smaller size hook or needles; if more stitches and rows, try a larger size hook or needles.

NOTES:

Ruffles yarn requires a special, yet simple, technique. The loops are formed by inserting the needle into this tape-fabric yarn. Click here for a short instructional video and audio description about working with Ruffles. To see written instructions, click here.

Bind off all stitches, leaving an end of about 16 inches for sewing.

FINISHING:
Sew up side seams, weave in ends. Weave ribbon through eyelets in waistband. Using sewing needle and thread, secure the ribbon so it cannot come loose.

Note: If baby is old enough to enjoy untying things, it may be prudent to put the bow in the back where it will be difficult to reach.

Optional Leg Cuff:
Using 5 double-pointed needles, pick up 60 stitches around the leg openings. With A, k2, p1 around for 8 rows. Bind off very loosely so the cuff will stretch comfortably, weave in ends.

Optional Leg Ruffle:
Using 5 double-pointed needles, pick up 60 stitches around the leg openings. With B, knit around for 2 rows. Bind off very loosely so the cuff will stretch comfortably, weave in ends.

Baby Abby's Ruffled Bloomers Reviewed by Heidi K Henderson on 2010-05-17 *****
I made these to dress Teady Bears that I also made. They turned out so adorable. The "ruffle" yarn is wonderful to work with & so easy & quick. The pattern & yarn is well worth the time. I made these in one evening while watching tv.
