Favorite Prefold Folds for In-between sizes?

LO is currently on the verge of outgrowing his NB prefolds - but the smalls still seem kind of huge!  We've been pretty much exclusively using the angel wing fold with much success.  I'm curious if other folds would be better for "stretching" the NB or "shrinking" the smalls?

What are your favorite folds for when you're in-between sizes?  Or do you just make do with all the extra cloth until LO fits a bit better?

    we just folded the back part of the bigger dipes down about 1 inch to make them a bit shorter in the rise...then did normal angelwing or jelly roll.

     

    This. I think bikini twist might take a bit of the rise off as well.

    The ooey fold. We also modified it after a bit by not folding down the front.

    +1 on bikini twist. But really, it's just trial and error. Try a few different things and see what works.

    For slightly too big prefolds, angel wing is great to use up some of the extra length in the rise.

    For slightly too small prefolds, if its the waist that LO has outgrown you can stretch it a bit by fanning out the front part of the prefold when doing angel wing fold so it reaches the wings coming up from the back.

    If the prefold is too short or too small in the waist just trifold.
