Soakers - for baby that is.

My crochet binge has taken me to diaper soakers.  Now I only wish I had another granbaby to use them.

With nothing to go by my first attempt came out a large so for my next attempt 

I shortened up the chain length and got a size more suiting to a 3-6 month 

but then again there is a lot of stretch in this crochet stitch. 

I found a really nice natural wool that works up super nice. 

Needed to add some color to my evening hooking session so I put in a 

quick order to knit picks and got some really nice heathered peruvian wool. 

 Another soaker made of acrylic yarn (Vanna's - for acrylic it works up nicely)

Needed to try a different pattern and I really like the feel of this yarn as well as the stitch. 

This really gives a much better idea of the red and green that I used.  

Well, I couldn't continue crochet only so  in my search for a knit soaker I came across curly purly and this pattern.  I particularly like this style because 1. no need for a tie 2.  you can make it long in the waist. .

Almost finished, all that's needed is the leg cuffs and then some blocking.
