Kim from 733, Mandy from Sugar Bee Crafts, and I have been having fun hosting Project Crochet all month long. Before wrapping up this series, I wanted to share this easy crochet pouf pattern that I completed.

I was inspired by all of the crochet/knit floor poufs in stores, because they seem to be everywhere now!

Despite its size, this fun pattern is actually a pretty quick and easy project to crochet. If you have crocheted a hat before, then you can make this trendy crochet pouf.

Most of the stitches are ones that a beginner has used, making it a great option for anyone looking to tackle a larger project for the first time. If you need a refresher for crochet in the round or front post crochet, be sure to check out my learn to crochet ebook.  

In the midst of creating this crochet floor pouf pattern, I discovered that it was spelled “pouf” and not “poof”. And did you know that an ottoman or floor pouf is called a hassock out East? What would you call this floor pouf!?

Materials

• Choose a bulky, heavy weight yarn.
• I used Bernat Roving yarn (the colour is Bark) with a 9 mm hook.
• Approximately 5 skeins of yarn (120 yards each) are needed for a pouf of this size with 32 oz of poly fill (stuffing).

Abbreviations

• st = stitch
• sl st = slip stitch
• ch = chain
• dc = double crochet
• fpdc = front post double crochet

Crochet Floor Pouf Pattern

ch 4, sl st into the first chain to create a magic ring, ch 2

Round 1: dc 10 into the circle, sl st to join, ch 2 {10}

Round 2: dc into first st, fpdc around the same st, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {20}

Round 3: dc into first two st, fpdc around the second st, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {30}

Round 4: dc into first three st, fpdc around the third st, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {40}

Round 5: dc into first four st, fpdc around the fourth st, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {50}

Round 6: dc into first five st, fpdc around the fifth st, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {60}

Round 7: dc into first six st, fpdc around the sixth st, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {70}

Round 8: dc into first seven st, fpdc around the seventh st, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {80}

Round 9: dc into the first eight st, fpdc around the eighth st, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {90}

Round 10: dc into the first nine st, fpdc around the ninth st, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {100}

** at this point, you no longer want to increase stitches, so you will follow the pattern created in round 10

Round 11-24:  dc into the first nine st, skip the tenth st, fpdc around the previous fpdc, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {100}

Round 25: dc into first seven st, dc decrease, fpdc around the previous fpdc, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {90}

Round 26: dc into first six st, dc decrease, fpdc around the previous fpdc, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {80}

Round 27: dc into first five st, dc decrease, fpdc around the previous fpdc, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {70}

Round 28: dc into first four st, dc decrease, fpdc around the previous fpdc, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {60}

Round 29: dc into first three st, dc decrease, fpdc around the previous fpdc, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {50}

Round 30: dc into first two st, dc decrease, fpdc around the previous fpdc, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {40}

**at this point add the stuffing. Poly fill will only work if your stitches are small and tight. If you have larger stitches, with bigger holes, I would recommend sewing a cotton bag to place the stuffing in before placing it into the pouf.

Round 31: dc into first st, dc decrease, fpdc around the previous fpdc, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {30}

Round 32: dc decrease, fpdc around the previous fpdc, repeat around, sl st to join, ch 2 {20}

Round 33: dc decrease around, sl st to join {10}

Using the end of the yarn, pull to tighten the hole, and use a yarn needle with the yarn to sew the hole closed. 

This gorgeous crochet pouf is a fun accent to any home decor. It provides extra seating and can be used as a footrest.

You could even turn your finished pouf into a side table. This one took a couple of evenings of crochet for me. We are enjoying it from every angle.

Want to change things up? Use this free pattern as a jumping off point.

Create a larger pouf by adding in a few more increase rounds. Try a super bulky yarn or make your own t-shirt yarn. Use different stitches to design your own unique look.

Tips and Tricks

• When choosing different projects, always check the skill level needed, to be sure it’s a good fit for you.
• Crochet hook size can make a real difference in the finished size of your crochet items. If you tend to crochet quite tightly, it may be beneficial to go up a size. If your crochet stitches tend to be loose, go down a size.
• Only have worsted weight yarn, but the pattern calls for bulky yarn? No problem! Just use two strands of worsted weight yarn, held together.
• For easy washing, choose a cotton yarn.
