a member of my facebook group.

Lazy Daisy Angel Baby Bunting
adapted and knitted by Stephanie Sim


She adapted it from one of my Angel Gown patterns - and it is so cute - I just had to share it ! 
Thank you so much Stephanie Sim for allowing me to share your adapted pattern.

I made my bunting longer than Stephanie's by adding extra rows and an extra buttonhole.
