Crochet Diaper Cover

Materials Needed:

2 balls of cabotine yarns from phildar (50 grams each)
Crochet hook size 3.5 mm
Scissors
Yarn needle (for weaving in ends)

Steps:

Starting Loop and Chain:

Begin with a starting loop, place your hook, and chain 95 (or enough chains to fit the baby's waist size, better to overestimate slightly as the waist will be elastic).

Joining into a Circle:

Make sure the chain does not twist, join to the first chain with a slip stitch to form a circle.

Foundation Row with Double Crochet (DC):

Start with three chains (count as first DC).
Place one DC in each stitch around the circle.
Close the row by slip stitching into the third chain of the starting three chains.

Pattern with Front and Back Double Crochet:

Start each row with three chain stitches.
Alternate placing one DC at the front, then one at the back of the previous row's DC.
Continue this for three rows to create an elastic pattern around the waist.

Increase Row with Treble Crochet (TC):

Begin the row as normal with three chains.
After every tenth TC, do an increase by placing two TC in the same stitch.
Continue the pattern around the circle.

Back Loop Only Double Crochets (BLO DC):

Start with three chains.
Work BLO DC all the way around to create a ridged pattern.
Create a total of 16 rows or adjust the number of rows based on the needed size.

Cut Yarn and Weave in Ends:

Cut yarn, pull through the loop and tighten.
Use a yarn needle to weave in the ends securely.

Crotch Tongue:

Determine the width needed for the crotch by measuring the baby's thighs.
Attach the yarn and create a tab made up of 13 stitches (or more if needed), alternating front and back strand stitches.
Crochet back and forth for eight rows.

Attach Crotch Tongue to Back of Shorts:

Attach the tongue at the back by making slip stitches to join it securely.

Edging:

Attach the yarn and work an edging of single crochet all the way around for a clean finish.
Secure and weave in all ends.

Waist Tie:

Chain 150 to 200 stitches (or double the number of starting chains).
Return along the chain with slip stitches to create a tie.
Attach the tie by weaving it in and out of the front loop of the stitches at the waist. Secure with a bow.
