• Hook: Size L (8.0 mm) crochet hook
• Stuffing: Polyester stuffing or foam insert

Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Base Circle

We will start by creating the base of the pouf.

• Round 1: Start with a magic ring, chain (ch) 1, and make 8 single crochet (sc) into the ring. Join with a slip stitch (sl st) to the first sc. (8 stitches)
• Round 2: Ch 1, then make 2 sc in each stitch around. Join. (16 stitches)
• Round 3: Ch 1, then (sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join. (24 stitches)
• Round 4: Ch 1, then (sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch) around. Join. (32 stitches)
• Continue increasing: Follow the pattern of increasing until the circle measures 20 inches in diameter. You can measure your work with a tape measure to ensure accuracy.

2. Side Panels

Next, we will create the side panels of the pouf.

• Using different colors, crochet 5 rectangles, each measuring 20 inches wide by 5 inches tall in single crochet.
• Once you have your rectangles, attach them together by sewing or crocheting them along the short sides to form a loop. Make sure the right sides are facing out for a neat finish.

3. Top Circle

Now, we will create the top circle of the pouf.

• Repeat the instructions for the base circle to create an identical top piece. This will ensure that the pouf has a uniform look.

4. Assembly

It's time to assemble your pouf!

• Attach the side panel loop to the base circle using single crochet, ensuring that the right sides are facing out.
• Stuff the pouf with polyester stuffing or insert the foam to give it a firm yet comfortable shape.
• Finally, attach the top circle to the side panels using single crochet, closing the pouf securely.

5. Finishing Touches

To complete your cozy patchwork pouf:

• Weave in all ends securely to prevent any unraveling.
• Optionally, add tassels or pom-poms to the corners for extra flair and a playful touch.
