It is knitted from cotton yarn, that is approximately thick just like a worsted yarn #4.
I think this diaper would fit most likely a baby about 3 months old, or a big newborn, or a small 6 months old baby...
Enjoy.

Note: Most of the time I work as fast as I can to keep up with knitting and crocheting requests. I have to videotape, edit videos, then convert them & upload them to my channel. After that often I post on my blog patterns. I answer many questions, which means that often I work up to 16 hours a day. I would tremendously appreciate IF anyone of you who finds an error in the written pattern, so please, let me know - where (what rows) and what may be the problem. Many future knitters & crocheters from our artsy and crafty virtual world will thank you for your good deed, including myself.
