Anyone Have Any Cover Designs?

[Gumby]

Morning all. I am thinking of getting my MIL to knit me some wool covers for bubs mcn's but I dont know where to find a design. Also are these covers absorbent?
If anyone has any designs for the covers or any info on covers at all, it would be much appreciated..

Do you want a soaker pattern?
The best one I have tried is this one
Alice soaker (http://grapevine.net.au/~bluegum/freesoaker.html)
tinybirds (http://www.tinybirdsorganics.com/soakers/pattern/index.html) is another
or this one with gusset dumani (http://www.dunmani.plus.com/knitting/patterns/soaker.html)

..

Wool is amazing. I think they are the best! The most effective cover - its all we use now.
Wool holds about 30% of its own weight.

Thnx Kymmy. I think I might just order some offline from that tinybirds web site. They look so cute :D

All the patterns are free that I linked. For the tinybirds they suggest Treliske organic wool which you can get quite cheaply at withawareness -Its beautiful and soft.
