Introduction: Dr Suess Thing 1 & Thing 2 Diaper Covers

By Head 2 Toe Custom Creations
About: I love to create!! When inspiration strikes me, I create original designs (mostly crochet and jewelry) that I call "Crystal's Creations" or "Crystal's Crochet Creations". But some times, when my brain is fuz…

I had a customer order these but I couldn't find a pattern for them anywhere. So, as I tend to do a lot, I made up my own. They're super cute and I can't wait to see them on the babies they were ordered for! Happy Hooking!
You'll Need:

With Upholstery Needle and Black Yarn, embroider the word and letter onto the applique and then using the long tail left when FO, sew applique onto the back of the diaper cover (applique is too big for the front panel)

Sew button on to the front panel in the middle OR you can sew two buttons on (one for each strap).
