Pouch Sling Tutorial

A pouch sling works just like a ring sling, only the size is not adjustable. They must be sized very carefully to fit well, but because of the small amount of fabric, can make a great back-up carrier in the car or the bottom of the diaper bag. They are especially great for a hip carry for bigger babies and toddlers who may want up and down often. Jan from Sleeping Baby Productions has a lovely text-and-pictures tutorial on making your own pouch sling here.

Another pattern that could be used in winter is The Fox Hole, a double layered, hooded pouch.
