One of our dear customers, Colleen, kindly took the time to send us some pictures of her Pinwheel Pouf that she recently completed. Along with the photos, she commented "It was a labor of love for sure but couldn't be happier with it!"
We agree! It is a fair amount of work but it is worth it. Look at the amazing results she got for her patience and determination! And now she is able to put her feet up and enjoy the fruits of her labour!
She lined it with turquoise flannel fabric for the purpose of keeping the stuffing contained and discovered that the colour shows through the small holes a bit and gives it a delightful contrast to the white. I might have to try that myself next time around! She then put in a bag worth of polyfil around the edges, set in a throw pillow that she wasn't using anymore, and then filled it in with another bag of polyfil.
We love your pouf, Colleen! Beautiful work! Thanks for sharing your project with us!

It's pretty much impossible to find a contemporary footstool that is low enough to slide under a chair so I was thrilled when Tara came out with her latest design for the the "Pinwheel Pouf". Tara's always had a good eye for home decor and whenever I want to know what the hot new trend or colour is I just ask Tara.
To create the footstool that you see pictured I just eliminated a few increased rounds as well as some plain rounds from Tara's pattern for the Pinwheel Pouf. I then stuffed my pouf with thick foam topped with a layer of quilt batting. Thanks Tara for another great crochet design!

Poufs are very popular in home decor. They are everywhere!! Some of them can cost you a pretty penny but now you can have one or several for very little cost.
The pattern requires a knowledge of the front post double crochet stitch and calls for three 400 gram balls of Bernat Handicrafter 100% Cotton.
Pouf finished size: Approx: 26” diameter x 12” high. Size will be affected by your choice and amount of filling. Any width or height of pouf can be created by simply switching up the number of increase rounds and/or plain rounds.
It can be a decorative pillow, floor pillow, footstool, seat, or even just something for the kids to tumble on…you decide…the possibilities are endless!!
