Have you heard of baby soakers or pilchers?

Here is a blast from the past...knit soakers or pilchers. This is not something many people in America know about but it is a great idea to use with real cloth diapers. They also help prevent diaper rash. 

Here is a vintage pattern at Sarah Bradberry's Website

A modern pattern is available on Spud and Chloe.

Happy knitting, Debby
