The pattern I wrote is easy and only uses 3 basic stitches: double crochet (for the granny square base), half double crochet for the walls, and triple crochet for the ears.

I chose a granny square style base because of the ease and speed, but if don’t want your base to have the small holes at the bottom you could work up a 8″ x 8″ square in rows of whatever stitch you’d like for the base instead *

The size is based on the quantity of yarn I had on hand, but the pattern is fully customizable to whatever size you’d like your finished product to be Just start with a larger / smaller base. *

Note: Disregard stitch count if you do this – your stitch count may not be the same as mine listed at the end of each row.

This was a scrap yarn project for me, so I did my base in pink and white (doubled up because they were each too thin) to leave enough brown for the walls.

I started with a granny square that had 6 clusters of 3DC on each side (stating this beforehand because row 1 of the pattern starts on the sides of the granny square, building up the wall).
