First 3 rounds = 4 inches (measured after round 4)
MATERIALS:
Worsted Weight approximately 3 ounces for hat

Small amount for flowers

Embroidery floss and needle for sewing flowers
NOTES:
1. Read instructions all the way through before beginning.
2. Pull joining slipstitches tight.
3. Flowers maybe either sewn to hat or glued. I like to sew them using a button for the center and embroidery floss for thread. It is best to sew the leaves on first and then top with your flowers. I sew on the leaves with a running stitch through the center of the leaf.

SUZIE’S GIRLY DIAPER COVER
Vanessa's Girly Diaper Cover crocheted of Simply Soft Baby Brites Ombre.
Girly Diaper Cover crocheted of Pound of Love lavender and Simply Soft Baby Brites Ombre.Thank you Vanessa for testing this pattern.
SIZES:
0-3 months
3-6 months
MATERIALS:
About 2.5 ounces worsted weight yarn
About 1 ounce contrasting yarn
Size I (5.5 mm) crochet hook
Tapestry needle
½ inch elastic 16 inches for smaller size, 18 inches for larger size
Small amount of thread and sewing needle
SPECIAL STITCHES:
Dc Foundation stitch = Ch 3 (doesn’t count as a dc), yarn over, insert hook in first ch and *pull up a loop. Yarn over, and pull through one loop (chain). Yarn over and pull through two loops twice (dc). You now have one foundation stitch. Yarn over and insert hook in ch of stitch just made. Repeat from * until you have desired number of stitches.
Here's a good video to show you how to do the Dc Foundation Stitch.
Scdec = Insert hook in next st, draw up a loop, (two loops on hook), insert hook in next st, draw up a loop (3 loops on hook), YO and draw through all 3 lps.
Fphdc = Front post hdc, YO, insert hook from front to back and to front again around the vertical post (upright part) of st, YO and draw yarn through, YO and complete hdc.
Bphdc = Back post hdc, YO, reaching over top of piece and working on opposite side (right side) of work, insert hook from right to left around vertical post of next st, YO and draw yarn through, YO and complete hdc.
Shell = Dc, ch 1, dc.
NOTES:
2. Diaper covers in photo crocheted with Lion Brand Pound of Love Lavender and Simply Soft Baby Brites Ombre.
3. When joining with a slipstitch pull the slipstitch tight.
4. To make the waistband adjustable, cut the elastic 2 inches shorter and sew about 8 inches of twill tape or ribbon to each end. Then crochet over the elastic, but leave the tape or ribbon ends loose at about the 28th stitch. Then you can tie the ends in a bow.
5. When working round 2 of ruffle, don’t worry if you end up with one more or fewer than 39 shells.
