Crochet Angel Baby Diaper Pattern


Crochet Angel Diaper Pattern
Made with Caron simply soft yarn - F hook
This diaper pattern typically fits 18-23 week angel babies
This pattern is not my own. I downloaded the sewing pattern for the tiny diapers from the Teeny Tears blog  and then I crocheted until I had a similar size and shape.




 This is the tiny size diaper.







Chain 14 - turn

Row 1 - 13 sc - 1 ch - turn
Row 2 - skip first stitch, 10 sc, skip second to the last stitch, 1 sc in last stitch {total of 11 stitches} 1 ch - turn
Row 3 - sc all the way across - 1 ch - turn
Row 4 - skip first stitch, 8 sc skip second to the last stitch, 1 sc in last stitch {total of 9 stitches} - 1 ch - turn
Row 5 - sc all the way across- 1 ch - turn
Row 6 - skip first stitch, 6 sc skip second to the last stitch, 1 sc in last stitch {total of 7 stitches} - 1 ch - turn
Row 7 - sc all the way across- 1 ch - turn
Row 8 - skip first stitch, 4 sc skip second to the last stitch, 1 sc in last stitch {total of 5 stitches} - 1 ch - turn
Row 9 - sc all the way across- 1 ch - turn
Row 10 - skip first stitch, 2 sc skip second to the last stitch, 1 sc in last stitch {total of 3 stitches} - 1 ch - turn
Row 11 - sc all the way across- 1 ch - turn

This is where the diaper will fold. 

Row 12: 2 sc in first stitch - sc across - 2 sc in last stitch - 1 ch - turn {total of 5 stitches}
Row 13 {7 stitches} - 14 {9 stitches} - 15 {11 stitches} : same as row 12
Row 16: 3 sc in first stitch - sc all the way across - 3 sc in last stitch - 1 ch - turn {total of 15 stitches}

Note: When you 3 sc in one stitch it will kind of try to round out the edge. It will look funny on this row just a little bit.

Row 17: sc all the way across - 1 ch - turn {15 stitches}

Note: this row will make your previous row look right. Make sure to catch all three of the sc on the ends so that your row will straighten out.

Row 18: 3 sc in first stitch - sc all the way across - 3 sc in last stitch - 1 ch - turn {19 stitches}
Row 19: sc all the way across - 1 ch - turn {19 stitches}

Row 20: 3 sc in first stitch - sc all the way across - 3 sc in last stitch - 1 ch - turn {23 stitches}
Row 21: sc all the way across - 1 ch - turn {23 stitches}

Now you need to edge the diaper with sc all the way around. You can switch colors here or you can keep the same color. Make sure to do a sh stitch (3 sc) in all the corners that need to be pointy. To make the crotch as tiny as possible (a good thing!) slip stitch instead of sc around the edge between rows 8 and 13.

Fold the diaper in half. Use a safety pin to pin the long two flaps together.
