This pattern shows you how to knit and assemble a pouf in six different sizes:
(dimensions are approximate)
• Extra small - 9 inches in diameter, 7 inches tall
• Small: 12 inches in diameter, 8 inches tall
• Medium: 14 inches in diameter, 11 inches tall
• Large: 16 inches in diameter, 12 inches tall
• Extra large: 18 inches in diameter, 13 inches tall
• Extra extra large: 20 inches in diameter, 14 inches tall

Using two strands of super bulky yarn held together and a size 17 circular needle, you will knit a stretchy cover, then make a bag to hold the stuffing of your choice. Once stuffed, you simply cinch up the top and bottom of the cover to close the pouf. The pattern details how to create both soft, pillow-like poufs and more firm poufs that can be used as ottomans or low seats.

For this pattern you will need to know how to knit and purl and how to use a circular knitting needle to work in the round. There is also a bit of easy sewing with a big yarn needle.

Materials: The standard ottoman size, the extra large, requires 6 skeins of yarn and 2 yards of felt. Of course you can always use the pattern as a starting point and substitute your own materials. I’ve used Lion Brand’s Hometown USA and Loops & Threads Cozy Wool with great success too.
