16 Inch Doll Diaper



They are not the most exciting projects in the world but I do try to get an early start on them every year because I try to send 2 with each of the larger baby dolls so they can be "changed." The crocheted diapers may not be as realistic as traditional cloth diapers but they are more practical than the disposable doll diapers that one has to keep buying as it can be hard to reuse them. These are pretty sturdy and they give allow for pretend play.

I need 4 diapers to send off with the JC Toys - La Baby16-inch Baby Doll diaper bags this year. I'll need 2 for the 14 inch dolls as well.

I've been using this pattern forever because its free and easy. I have to keep checking because its only available through the Wayback machine but thankfully as of writing this post it was still there to share with you. You can find the free diaper pattern here.

I used a K hook for these but I made a note last year which I missed to try a smaller hook perhaps an I to see how they fit. If they are too small they will likely fit the JC Toys - Lots to Love 14" Baby Doll.

The diapers are going to be another left over yarn ball stash busting project as I have a giant ball of white to finish off.

16 Inch Doll Diapers Round 2



I am very pleased to announce that with this round of two diapers completed I am done with diapers for the JC 16-inch Medium Soft Body Baby Doll for 20121. I still haven't made a decision on what to do about the Lots to Love 14 inches Baby Doll . I will have to play with a pattern to see I can get one to fit, but that will only be one set and those will go quickly. It feels good to have completed something this early in the year!

This is a free pattern still available as I write this through the Wayback machine here. I use snaps rather than buttons on my doll diapers. I just find it easier.

16 Inch Baby Doll Diapers



One of the projects I try to knock off early in the doll donation project each year are the diaper bag items. I need a total of 4 diapers for the 2 JC Toys 16-inch Medium Soft Body Baby Doll La Baby I donate every year so it feels good to get them off my to do list. I try to make a couple in between other projects to keep them from becoming a tedious exercise.

This is a free pattern still available through the Wayback machine here. I have a supply of yarn that was gifted to me and I've been working through it for years. It is a variety an older brands of acrylic and all in various shades of off white. I've been using it primarily for the diapers for the last few years and I would like to believe I'm starting to make a dent. I have enough to finish this years diapers. It is a blessing to be able to make them without needing to buy yarn.

A note to myself for the next set. I followed my notes on the pattern which list a K hook. I'm using my new Ergonomic hooks and found the diapers were a little looser than normal. I read a previous posting about using an I hook and I'll experiment with that as it might have to do with the stretchiness of this yarn. It might need a smaller hook. I will change my notes to reflect the hook size on the pattern as well as noting them on the blog after I make the next set. I continue to use snaps with this pattern.

I did find Melissa & Doug Baby Food & Bottle Seton sale and I was able to purchase 3 sets so the 2 16 inch dolls and the JC Toys, Lots to Love Babies 14 inches Baby Doll will all have one as part of their donation. While bottles are easy enough to crochet, the plates and baby food jars are not as easy to make so the feeding kit makes it a more complete set to donate.

Doll Diaper


I decided the 12-inch doll had been neglected so I made her a diaper using a free pattern found here. I chose to use snaps instead of buttons. I suspect if I could find Velcro that was not a killer to sew that would be an even better option.

I have to experiment with how many stitches it would take on a starting chain, but I think this could be adapted to give the 15-inch baby dolls diapers, too.
