This is an original machine knit design. The design is very simple and easily adapted to other stitches and yarns, and to hand knitting or crochet

This same design is incorporated into the Brunswick Machine Knitting Novices ebook, Not So Square; ideas for beginning machine knitters. Page 9 has the same design, differently expressed from the Moonee Ponds Blog version. It includes a slight variation on the seaming, which may make for a more acceptable garment.
