Here’s this weeks free pattern. I thought I should make a diaper cover to go with the Devil Baby hat that I posted last week. It’s also a combo knit and crochet pattern. The combo should make super cute Valentine’s Day cards. Have fun and I hope to have pictures of it on an actual baby after this weekend. Use #drunkenauntwendy if you post a picture.

[…] I’m both a knitter and a crocheter and I like to combine both elements in patterns. This hat is a reflection of that. It’s only sized for itty, bitty babies right now and is probably only suitable for newborns or as a photography prop. There is a corresponding Diaper Cover. […]
