Quick and Easy Crochet All-Night Soaker
Here is my free crochet soaker pattern for the quick and easy crochet over-night all-night soaker. This pattern will make soakers for sizes Newborn, Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. For yarn, I used two strands of Lion's Brand Fisherman's wool to crochet a thicker and quicker soaker for use all night. Be sure to use a good quality diaper with your over-night all-night crochet soakers. :-)

Disclaimer: Every baby wets their diapers at different times and rates. While this soaker is very thick, and will work excellent for over-night use by most babies, please be sure to change your baby as often as needed, according to their own wetting habits. :-)
I will freely allow anyone to make items from my patterns to sell. I only ask that no one sell my patterns, or try to claim them as their own. I also ask that anyone selling from items they crochet from my patterns would post a link to my free pattern within the listing. I do think anyone purchasing crocheted items deserves the right to know that they could make it for free, also. I have noticed listings from a few sellers who sell items they have crocheted from my patterns, and they haven't been linked. I won't call anyone out, but I do notice. :-) I also think others notice, as well, and this reflects upon these seller's character. When someone offers free patterns with a right to sell, it shouldn't be too much to ask individuals to link back. :-) Thank you for all of those that do link back! I notice you, as well, as do others! <3 May you be richly blessed!
