I was just testing this pattern out but I think = the pictures on the site I got it from looks better than mine.  

Pattern Here…     I feel like mine came out too big.  Maybe that’s why it doesn’t look right.   It definitely grows on you, I like it more today than I did when I first made it

The pattern is easy to follow and can be done by a novice knitter.   I would think it would be easy to do in crochet too.

I made it in another color, and with smaller needles to make smaller version for a kid.
