2x2 Pocket Cube
My experience solving the 2x2 cube came when I realized that a 4x4 could be mixed in a way that would mimic the 2x2. From there I started working on solving the 2x2.
Solution Procedure
A full solution method/technique is described on the Pocket Cube/Solution Method page.
Solving the Bottom Layer
The 2x2 has a few patterns that can be applied from larger cubes, starting with the bottom.
In the process of solving the 3x3 using the beginners method, you start by solving the cross on the bottom, and then by moving the corners into place. The moves that help with moving the corners into place are useful in forming the bottom 4 cubies of the pocket cube - you basically have a cross-less cross.
So, solving the bottom layer of the 2x2 is largely intuitive.
Orienting Corners
Case 1: Two corners ok
Case 2: Three corners ok
