Granny Squares are the best
This project was a mixture of two tutorials I found on YouTube. One by Thatssojay and another by Fisayo and Crochet. I ran out of yarn for the first tutorial so I made the sleeves from the second one. This is actually a lot simpler than you think as long as you know how to make a granny square 😊

This image introduces the topic of crocheting a granny square, showing three skeins of yarn in burnt orange, red, and brown, along with a crochet hook on a wooden background.
A hand holds red yarn, demonstrating the first step of Round 1 (R1) for a granny square, which is to chain 5 (CH5), with an arrow pointing to 'Chain 1'.
A hand demonstrates forming a circle in red yarn by slip stitching (SL ST) to CH1 and chaining 4 (CH4, indicating to work into this circle and add 3 double crochets (3DC).
Granny Squares for Babies?! 🤪
Someone asked for a breakdown on how to make a granny square. Check out below for abbreviations long worded. CH - chain DC - double crochet SLST - slip stitch One key advice to remember is to always change four at the beginning of the round. And then add your first 3DC in that same stitch.
