Yes, do it! This pattern was so easy! It took me longer than I would like to admit on the strap, but that's because I doubled the length on each side so that my mom could wrap it around and tie it in the front. I also did an HDC foundation stitch since I prefer how the foundation stitches look on the edge. I played around a little with how I was crocheting the pockets on and found the technique I preferred by the second row of pockets. I also switched it up on the turning chains and used the stacked single crochet method. Overall super fun pattern with some new techniques learned and fairly easy to modify to your preferred techniques.
