Danyel Pink recently closed her crochet website (Danyel Pink Designs) and retired from the world of crochet. Oombawka Design purchased the full rights to this pattern, which means now I can share it with you.
I’m happy to be able to include this adorable baby diaper cover and beanie pattern with my other free patterns on the Oombawka Design Crochet blog.
If you, or someone you know, is retiring and closing their crochet blog, please feel free to reach out to arrange for your patterns to be included at Oombawka Design too!
Other suggestions you can try for this pattern:
- You may want to work the last round of single crochet in a constrasting color.
- Trim the hat and diaper cover in fun fur or a boucle yarn for extra texture.
- Try a variegated yarn for a funky colored set.
- Add a small pompom to the hat.
- You may want to add animal ears to the hat and an animal tail to the diaper cover for a cute zoo set!
- If you work the entire pattern through both loops you will have a smoother look to the finished set (less texture).
- Other yarns that work well for this pattern include: Vanna’s Choice, Red Heart with Love, I Love this Yarn, and Lion Brand Cotton.

Hi Shelly, You will take care of those extra five chains at the end of R21. I popped into the pattern to take a look because I thought there was a photo that showed how this was done (the 5 chains bit) and there is a photo but it was in the next size up. I’ve added it into the smaller size too so you can see it. I hope this helps! Rhondda
I’m confused by the instructions at the end of row 19 and beginning of 20 where it says “finish off” then chain 5 and double crochet into last stitch of row 19. Does this not make a loop instead of the beginning of the tabs that will have a button hole? What am I missing? Thank you.
Hi Kathy, I apologize! There was a typo. It should read: R10: 2 dc in the bl of the first st. *1 dc in the fl of the next st, 1 dc in the bl of the next st**. Work from * to ** across to the last st. 2 dc in the last st, ch 2, turn. [22 dc]
On the diaper cover in rows 10 and 11 when you repeat them on 12-19, how did you get 26 total stitches when done?
Such a cute little set!!
