I started knitting this last night… Rohan desperately needs a few woolen soakers for during the day whilst at home, as his PUL ones are just tooooo hot for his little bum…
Great pattern, and a really fast knit with Aran weight…
For all us old f**** we used to have “rubber” pants that did the same thing! Nowadays, moms that use cloth diapers have these cool soakers the diapers fit right into and use velcro! No more diaper pins! My grandson wore them when he was a baby. How the world has changed!
I’d never heard of soakers till I joined KH. In “my day” as in Faye’s we used rubber pants if we weren’t using disposables. I used cloth and wish now that I had know about soakers. :teehee:
PULs are rubber pants, basically.
We cloth diaper, but DD has outgrown her old-skool flats (she’s in pocket-diapers now.) We used to use PULs and wool covers on her when she was itty bitty, but I never got around to knitting her one. I wasn’t that good yet. boo.
Your soaker is coming along fabulously - I’m bookmarking this pattern!
I use cloth diapers on my baby and we have gortex type ‘rubber pants’ that are waterproof yet breathable so her bum doesn’t get all sore.
Though now that I have seen this pattern, I may just give it a try!
very cute! great job on the CP soaker!
i recently made some longies with the curly putly waistband!
cant wait to try em out on the little babe (once he gets here, that is!)
NB stuff is so easy and fast to make!
