This pattern is for a baby carrier slipcover that will fit your Standard Size Kinderpack™.
It has a 3 section body that curves, making for a great fit. It has openings along the edge for the shoulder straps and side buckle straps to go through. The headrest is in 2 sections, inside and outside, fitting like a pocket over each side of the original headrest, so that the stuff-able hood is still accessible, as is the pocket it creates when stuffed.
This pattern is reversible, however keep in mind that if you choose to snap into the original headrest (recommended for stability) the cover headrest will not be able to attach when it is reversed. I talk more about this in the snap section of the instructions.
You can be as creative with this pattern as you desire. Use different fabrics for each panel,
inside and out, or make it all out of the same fabric. Add trim, pockets, or embroidery. Use your imagination!
