Stylish Pouf
You’ll love having this perfectly striped pouf around to lean on or to rest your feet. It can be crocheted very easily (even by a beginner) and then a child’s bean bag chair is used for the stuffing.
Pattern #: LW4526
Designed By: Lorna Miser
Project Type: Home Decor
Skill Level: Beginner
Required Supplies:
- RED HEART® Grande™: 8 balls 307 Oatmeal A and 10 balls 110 Aran B
- Susan Bates® Crochet Hook: 10mm [US P-15]
- Plastic yarn needle
- Stitch marker
Additional Supplies Needed:
Child’s small bean bag chair
GAUGE: 11 sts = 8” (20.5 cm); 7 rows = 4” (10 cm) in single crochet. CHECK YOUR GAUGE. Use any size hook to obtain the gauge.
Pouf measures 27” diameter x 15” high x 87” circumference (68.5 x 38 x 221 cm).
Notes
1. Pouf is made with top, side, and bottom panels worked in continuous rounds with right side facing. Side panel is worked downward from top panel.
2. Pouf cover is intended to fit snugly around the bean bag. Purchase a bean bag that is slightly larger than the cover. The assembled pieces may appear to be too small to accommodate the bean bag but the yarn will stretch.
3. To change color, work last stitch of old color to last yarn over. Yarn over with new color and draw through all loops on hook to complete stitch. Proceed with new color. Cut old color.
