Okay, I know that's not a very original name, but I can't think of anything more clever at the moment. When (if) I do, I'll change it. Picture to (hopefully) come soon!
Also, you're more than welcome to make these to sell. However, please don't post the pattern anywhere--post a link to this page instead. Thanks!
