This pattern is truly simple, as I am a beginner at crochet, but it’s as warm and comforting as a mother’s hug! I used K&C Element yarn (which is discontinued), but any worsted weight will be fine.

Size: Made to fit

Materials: ~400 yds worsted weight yarn, H hook, U.S. Size 6 circular needle or dpns

Gauge: 14 sts x 10 rows = 4” x 4” (Since it’s made to fit, gauge isn’t so important)

Techniques Used: (Abbreviations and instructions are listed at the end of the pattern.)
ch, sl, sk, and hdc
Knitting in the round
2x2 ribbing: (k2, p2) repeat around
