16 Inch Baby Doll Diaper Round 4 and the Final One for 2024!!!

Well we are at the end of the 2024 diaper cycle. The second JC 16 Inch Baby doll now also has two diapers for its diaper bag and I can move on to finishing up the sleeping bags and rotating through clothes for all the dolls!

This is early for me. Last year it was almost the end of the month before the diaper bag items were done. While I'm happy to make them, I'm never sad when they are finished for the year.

You can find the free doll diaper pattern here.

Notes:

This was made with a J hook and white acrylic yarn.

I use snaps instead of the suggested buttons.

Baby Doll Diaper Part 2

Every year each JC 16 inch Baby doll leaves with 2 diapers for the diaper bag. It allows the child to have a diaper on the baby doll and one to "change" the baby into for pretend play. With this completed one I have one doll with a complete set leaving me with two more diapers needed for 2024.

I've been making these for a very long time because the plastic disposable ones have a short shelf life. These are a bit less realistic but as long as they don't get lost they can be used for some time.

This is an old free pattern you can find here.

Notes:

I used worsted weight 4 acrylic yarn in any brand I have on hand. It's been a great way to use up yarn left over from other projects. I've used up a couple of left over white yarn balls on diapers and bibs this season already.

16 Inch Baby Doll Diaper

One of the clear signs a new donation cycle has started is when the new diaper bag items start showing up on the blog. I started purchasing the diaper bags a few years ago but I still make the filler that I find to be the most useful. While crochet diapers don't look as realistic as the plastic disposable diapers they are more practical for pretend play as with snaps they can be used for pretend play until they get lost.

I've mentioned it before but my reasoning for making the diapers came from watching how disapointed my nieces would get when the disposable diapers wouldn't work after a couple of plays times and finding replacements when we could find them was not a cheap option and sometimes they just weren't available leaving to frustrated little girls. These diapers while not as realistic looking perhaps do keep the play going.

I make two diapers for each of the 16 inch donation dolls so you'll see four diapers before this year's project is done. It's my way of tracking my progress. If I forget to post it it is very likely I've forgotten to make it as well.

This has been a great way to use up left over balls of white acrylic worsted yarn I have from last year's projects.
