Homesteading: A Woman's Journey

Free Sweater Soaker patterns

I love the way these look.  I am going to work up a few pair for Micah.  Not onlly to use as a soaker, but to have to use this winter to help kep him warm.  I may even look for sweaters in the larger mens sizes to make Abigail a few pair to wear at night under her nightgowns. 

These are simply little knickers & long pants made from recycled old adult sized sweaters.  Those are so easy of find at thrift stores and yard sales.  I am thinking that you can also use the same basic instructions to make the long pants from old sweatshirts.

Born to Love has a simple pattern that makes 2 pair of infant knickers from one sweater.  Kidcentrix has a easy to follow picture tutorial on how to make the long pants from sweater sleeves.  If you were to make your own ribbed cuffs from ribbing fabric, you could easily make of pair of long pants and 2 pair of knickers from a single sweater!

I can't wait to get started on these.   Come winter, they will be a welcome addition to the little ones' wardrobes.
