Materials Needed

• Yarn: Super bulky weight yarn, 100% cotton (approximately 800 yards)
• Hook: 12mm crochet hook
• Stuffing: Polyester stuffing or foam insert

Step-by-Step Instructions

Base

1. Start with a magic ring. To do this, wrap the yarn around your fingers to create a loop, then pull a loop of yarn through the center.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochet (sc) stitches into the magic ring. (You should have 6 stitches.)
3. Round 2: Increase by working 2 sc in each stitch around. (You should have 12 stitches.)
4. Round 3: *1 sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the following stitch*; repeat from * to * around. (You should have 18 stitches.)
5. Round 4: *2 sc in the next stitch, 1 sc in the following 2 stitches*; repeat from * to * around. (You should have 24 stitches.)
6. Continue increasing in this manner until the base measures approximately 24 inches in diameter. To check the diameter, lay the base flat and measure across the widest part.

Sides

1. Once the base is complete, work evenly in single crochet around for 12 inches to create the height of the pouf. Do not increase or decrease stitches during this round.

Top

1. Begin decreasing in the same manner as the increases were made for the base. To decrease, work 2 sc together (sc2tog) as follows:
• Insert your hook into the first stitch and pull up a loop.
• Insert your hook into the next stitch and pull up another loop. You should have 3 loops on your hook.
• Yarn over and pull through all 3 loops on your hook.
2. Continue decreasing until you have 6 stitches remaining.
3. Fasten off, leaving a long tail for sewing.

Assembly

1. Stuff the pouf with polyester stuffing or insert the foam. Make sure it is evenly distributed for a plush feel.
2. Using the long tail from the top, sew the opening closed. You can use a whip stitch or a slip stitch to secure the edges together.

Finishing

1. Weave in all ends securely using a yarn needle. This will ensure that your pouf holds its shape and looks polished.
