The 2x2 has a few patterns that can be applied from larger cubes; for example, 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.

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.
