Knowing almost nothing about knitting before I started this project, I spent many months trying to recreate the original as faithfully as possible.
And you can try it yourself as well :)
CAVEAT: I am not a designer, the pattern is only available in one size, and it can be a pretty difficult knit at times.
BUT: it's free, and I can answer questions if you try your hands at making it!
Note to recommended amount of yarn: "I have ripped out and restarted this project so many times that I’ve had to discard yarn (mostly beige) that was too short or too damaged to use. I have no idea how much I discarded, but maybe one or two skeinsworth of yarn?"
