Wool soaker

I just found a nice pattern for a wool soaker. I will make that one soon for our new baby to be and see how well it works.
The pattern is for a larger child, but I will simply make it smaller.

This is the pattern, its ribbed:

#3,5 / 3,75 needles. Worsted wool

Cast on 52 stitches.

Do 8 rows in K2,P2 ribbing.

Do an eyelet row (k2,yo, p2tog) *this row is optional for drawstring

K2,p2 for 16-18 more inches

Do an eyelet row again if you want the drawstring

K,2,p2 for 8 more rows.

Cast off.

Stitch up the sides leaving a hole on each side for baby's legs.

Cuffs: You can add cuffs if desired by picking up stitches around the leg holes. Make sure that the # of stitches is divisible by 4 and do a K2,P2 rib. Make sure you have enough stitches or the cuffs will be too tight. The cuffs can be quite loosely, that is no problem, just make them long enough. You can also try the soaker without cuffs.
