A few days ago I received a message from a knitter who had altered my Garter Stitch Baby Onesie - and changed it to stocking stitch throughout.
She kindly shared her changes with me, and I had to have a go!
This was the result of our collaboration.
Huge thanks to Hannah Rickard for the inspiration and instructions.
