Gauge doesn't matter, and you can use any type of yarn and whichever hook you like.
The pattern is basically groups of two dc's, with a single dc at the beginning and end of the row.
The single dc's will be used in the border round.
I used a G hook and one 6-ounce skein of sport-weight Red Heart Soft Baby in Bunny Print. I made
mine about 19" x 23" to fit a car seat or baby carrier.

Note: Ch 2 counts as first dc in the dc rows. You can ch 3 if you prefer.

Row 1: Foundationless double crochet the width you want, ending with an even number of dc's. Ch 1,
turn.

Row 2: SC in 1st dc. Sc in space between 1st & 2nd dc, *ch 2, skip 2 dc, sc in space before next dc;
repeat from * across, sc in top of turning chain. Ch 2 (or 3), turn.

Row 3: 2 dc in each ch-2 loop across. Dc in last sc. Ch 1, turn.

Repeat rows 2 & 3 until you reach the desired length. End with row 3, but ch 2 (or 3), turn.

Last Row: DC in each stitch across, dc in top of turning chain. Ch 2 (or 3), turn.

Border:
Work in rounds.

Round 1: *Top edge: DC in each stitch across, 3 dc in top of turning chain for corner. Side edge:
Work 2 dc around each dc post and 1 dc in the end of each sc row, ending with 3 dc in last stitch
for corner. Repeat from * for bottom edge and side edge. Join with a slip stitch to the top of the
first turning chain. Ch 1. Do not turn.

Round 2: SC around, working 3 sc in center dc of each corner. Join with a sl st to first sc. Fasten
off. Weave in ends.
