Diaper Cover Crochet Pattern
The Head Over Heels Diaper Cover is part of a set I created just in time for Valentine’s Day. If you want to make the whole set, make sure to check out the matching Baby Booties and Bonnet! This diaper cover is simple and easy to make. You don’t even have to rummage around trying to find a button last minute, because I’ve designed an adorable little heart button just for this piece!

Attaching the button to the diaper cover:
Split the tail of the button into two strands. With the back side of the diaper cover facing you, insert a strand into the two spaces beside the middle dc post at the bottom, center of the diaper cover. Tie a bow onto the dc post to secure.
Turn the diaper cover over and fold the bottom up to the top straps. Overlap the straps over the heart and insert the heart in between dc posts (they serve as button holes) on the top. You can make the diaper cover tighter or looser, depending on which holes you use.
