carseat toy hanger chain

materials:

scrap wool (I'm using worsted weight in this but I've used a little lighter weight too and it turned out just as well.)
size tiny hook




chain 30, join, ch 2 (somehow, for the example I only did 20. it turned out ok, just smaller than I like.)





DC in each ch, join, ch 2.

*only dc in one loop from the chain though. so you hook through one and leave 2, we will need them later.





dc in each st, join.





now, fold the tube in half and use a sl st to join. sl st through both st from the dc's and both from the beginning ch.





Here is the top...





and the bottom.





To do the next loop in the chain, join the beginning chain through the first one you made, then continue with the instructions as though the others weren't even there. (I put it through that one and some I already had done.)





6 of them all joined together.

(I wouldn't join any more then this together to prevent strangulation. That would be bad.)

Fleece diaper cover

Choose 2 colors of fleece (or one, your choice). The tie dye one is going to be the outside and the blue, the inside.



















Using a diaper you already have, measure and trace onto your outside color. Add about an inch or so around all the sides. If you are using a disposable diaper to measure, add about 2 inches.


















Make sure you stretch out the cover you are tracing from side to side and front to back.





















After you have the outside cut out, lay it on top of the inside color. Cut it out, adding about an inch or so around all the sides.

















Using a long straight stitch, sew the outside to the inside as close to the edge as you can. You can pin it first but the fleece tends to want to stick together for me and I haven't had to.



















Then, roll the outside forward and medium zigzag down.



















This is what it should look like.




















A close up of the corner. You don't have to do it like I do, as long as it gets stitched down.














Velcro:
The hook part should always be on the front. zigzag down with a medium stitch.

small cover:
the front is 8" long. the sides are 3" each.

big cover:
the fronts are 4" each. the sides are also 4" each





















Elastic:

Clip holes here-ish

















To measure how long you need it, stretch the elastic from one hole to the other. Cut it about half an inch longer.

















Use a safety pin and guide the elastic through the casing until just a little bit it peeking out.























Use a tiny zigzag and stitch it down. Go over 4 times or so.






















Finish guiding the elastic through and hold it down with 2 fingers.





















Zigzag down with a tiny stitch. Watch your fingers! Clip the safety pin off.



















Repeat for the other 2 sides.














All done!
