16 Inch Baby Doll Diaper 4

This is the final diaper I need for the 2026 16 inch Baby Doll donation! There are so many distractions and honestly fun crochet projects that I like to get these projects completed early and in their donation bags so they don't get left out and have me scrambling when I do inventory in the fall.

They are simple enough to do but I try to make two for each of the dolls to allow the child to have a diaper on and have one in the diaper bag for "changing" the baby. While not hard the items can be a bit dull. My experience with my adult nieces was the plastic disposable ones didn't last long and finding replacements wasn't an easy task. These are pretty hardy and can be used until lost.

Notes:

These are made with a free pattern available here.

I use worsted 4 yarn and a J hook. The diapers are closed with snaps. Buttons might work if you wanted a substitute.

16 Inch Baby Doll Diaper

I've been making these diapers from a free pattern you can find here for years.

Notes:

The two larger 16 inch baby dolls each leave with two diapers, a box of crocheted wipes, and a bib. I generally purchase a feeding kit and a bassinet. I have an amazing donor who has been sewing diaper bags.

My hook size changes from time to time but recently I've leveled off at a J to get them to fit this doll.

I use snaps instead of buttons to close. I just find they stay closed better for me.

One done 3 more to finish for the 2026 donation.
