My sister asked me if I could crochet some diapers for my nieces Baby Alive Doll. After a few attempts, I finally got the shape and size perfected. I am so excited to see the look on my nieces face, especially when she sees the fake poop I painted into one of them.
I hope everyone enjoys following this free crochet doll diaper pattern as much as I enjoyed creating it!

Really love this but for some reason my brain is not catching the turns. Are you meaning to turn the corner or a normal turn around. It’s just not coming out right for me. Are there perhaps some pictures to go along with each of the steps that may help?
Turn and work the opposite direction when told to turn. On round 2, you will be turning the corner. I didn’t say to turn in that row.
Thank you very much. It was very quick to work up once I looked at it a second time. I have one made up already it just needs some buttons.
Thank you so much for this pattern. I will be using it to help train breastfeeding mums, by adding some different coloured circles (might need to make the nappy larger), to show the different stages of a breastfed baby’s normal poo colours.
Thank you. Can’t wait to give the pattern a try.
Very cute!! I just made one but it came out very tiny!! I’m gonna try it with a 5.5 hook. Thanks for the pattern 🙂
I must crochet very tight because I made your anumal hammock and had to go up two hook sizes. That is a great pattern too!
These diapers are too cute, loved the “poop” idea! Thanks for sharing…
Thank you very much for this cute pattern.
I’m a beginner. What does HDC-2-TOG mean?
Never mind. I found it. Lol. Cute pattern and I’ve worked up a few for my granddaughter’s many baby dolls.
Half Double Crochet two together.
Awesome! My came out right the first time and it fit both of the dolls! I love this pattern!
What size doll will these fit?
?love these..do u have any more crochet clothes patterns for baby alive?
Other than this, I do not. My daughter kind of hates dolls… so I don’t have much of a reason to. haha
Thank you for sharing.
I needed something for my great niece to itty bitty baby doll.
Its going to be a prefect gift.
Would this fit a Bitty Baby?
It’s sized to fit a doll baby. Im not sure it would fit a baby. It would have to be a very early premie.
I’m stuck on step 2 not sure where to increase stitches to 60
If you have ever done the sole of a shoe, from what I understand you are working the first 3sc in the side of your first treble stitch and then working in the back loops of your chains and then back around. So at the end of the round you end up back at your starting treble stitch! Then you turn and work back on your original row as if going in rows not in the round!! Hope this makes sense!!
AmyT–I think it would fit a 5″ Bitty Baby if you used crochet thread instead of yarn.
I can’t figure out row 2, how would I end up with 60?
Love this pattern, making some for my niece as a christmas gift. I also found a crochet diaper bag on pinterest i might try to go with it. Thank you for sharing.
I’m new to crochet but I don’t see any button holes yet. I’m only on row 2 so far though. Am I missing them somewhere? Thanks!
I am really confused by this pattern. In your list of terms you have HDC and Treble crochet as well as slip stitch and single crochet. Are these in US terms or UK terms??
