My big boy in his finished soaker. I really like the results – the soaker stays very dry on the outside. I was a bit skeptical that it would stay up very well on a crawling/cruising baby when it has no elastic, only an I-cord drawstring, but it really does! Next time, though, I’ll make the leg openings a bit larger to accomodate his chubby thighs.
Also, the yarn is a very saturated, brilliant color, and left a teensy bit of blue residue on his legs and the diaper inside. A few washes will remedy this, I hope.  The next one will be in yellow – nice and cheery for summer.
Nice work, Mama! And that first picture is ADORABLE 🙂 He’s such a cutie!!
That is beautiful – and the kid is pretty cute, too. So it really stays dry on the outside? Did you treat it specially to make it stay dry? I had a wool soaker that seemed to soak right through, so I haven’t used it, since I couldn’t see the point.
