The original design is in the "Children's Collection" book, however there is an amendment available on the Virtual Yarns site (you can find the adult version also under the Children's Collection section of "Designs"). Which is why it's probably not commonly known.
The yarn is authentic 5-ply gansey yarn - AS' "Scottish Fleet" (it may make a lovely
piece of fabric, but cashmere it's not), 296 sts knit in the round
on 3mm, with a tension of 30st and 40 rows to 10cm. For the body, I
need to work approx. 30cm (about 12") of stocking stitch above the
border section before hitting THE GUSSET~ Bridgett
