This project is a great way to practise the basic double crochet stitch, as well as changing colour and keeping edges straight. The stripes in the design mean it uses very little yarn, so is perfect for using up scraps left over from other projects. The only thing to remember is to make sure the yarns are all the same weight. If you like, you could also add a bit of embroidery to the front or even a couple of contrasting buttons - let your imagination run wild!
