This pattern is of medium difficulty, if you know how to pick up stitches around an edge and work with several strands of yarn at once then you should have no trouble with it.

Materials

  • 1,100 yards of #6 super bulky yarn (I used 9 balls of Bernat Wool-Up Bulky)
  • US 50 (25 mm) CIRCULAR needles
  • crochet hook
  • Stuffing: this pattern takes A LOT of stuffing: you can use any combo of poly fil, pillows, comforters, blankets, packing peanuts, or whatever you have available to you. I used 2 regular pillows, 3 throw pillows and an old comforter.

This foot rest/pouf is HUGE! It’s 5 feet around (more depending on how compactly you stuff it), and 20” high off the ground.
