Pattern: Easy Crochet Chunky Diaper Cover (0-3 Months)

Hey readers!

I've decided to share my diaper cover pattern today! I've had trouble finding crochet patterns for diaper covers, especially for thicker yarns, so I just had to figure it out myself. It has a thicker waist band to really help cover the diaper, which is necessary if being used as a prop. Photogs already have enough on their plate, so lets make life a little easier by providing a diaper cover that covers more diaper! More coverage = less to photoshop! You're welcome.

I love being able to share what I make and patterns if I can, but in return I expect some credit. I do not mind if you sell products from my pattern, but if you do, please include the link to this page. Please do not sell or claim this pattern as your own. If you don't crochet, you can purchase one of these sets from my Etsy shop! :-D (www.MeetMehaffWay.Etsy.com) OR find me on Facebook (www.facebook.com/MeetMehaffWay) and I may have one available ready-to-ship :-)

Alright, here is my pattern! This is for 0-3 Months. I will add a 3-6 Month size later.This took me MAYBE an hour to make...I was also trying to write it down as I went. If you see any typos or mistakes, please let me know so I can fix it! Thanks :-)

Whatcha Need:
K Hook (6.5 mm)
Bulky Yarn (5) -- I used Premier Deborah Norville Serenity Chunky Weigh
Yarn Needle
Scissors

Notes:
Once you get to the end of the row for 5 - 11, the previous row's ch 2 space will be skipped. You are DC2TOG the third to last and second to last spaces, and the ch 2 space should be left unworked. If this is unclear, please let me know :-)

Stitches to Know:
Ch (Chain)
Sl st (Slip Stitch)
DC (Double Crochet)
TC (Triple Crochet)
DC2TOG (Double Crochet 2 Together)
FDC (Foundation Double Crochet)--This is the BEST thing to know. There are SO many great tutorials out there on youtube and just the internet in general, so if you don't know how to do this yet, just do a quick web search. Once you learn, it's ridiculously easy.

Row 2: TC 10, DC 20, TC 10. Ch 2. Turn (39)
Row 3: DC across. Fasten off. (You don't HAVE to fasten off here. You could turn and sl. st 10 across, but I, personally, don't like how it looks.) (39)
Row 4: sl st in 11th DC ( you are skipping 10 DC). DC across, but leave 10 st. unworked. Ch 2. Turn
