Stocking Stitch Baby or Baby Doll Onsie

 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.
