Free Crochet Pattern
The Free Crochet Floor Pouf Pattern by Heather of Twin Dragonfly Designs is one of my favorites. The design is sleek and firm.
According to Heather, if you can crochet a cap, you can crochet a pouf – there you have it!
With a 9mm hook and thirty-three rounds, it can definitely not take too long!

FREE CROCHET ottoman or pouffe PATTERN
The French Blog HOOK LOOK shares a free crochet pattern for an Ottoman/Pouffe.
She calls it – too easy…
I like easy…how about you?
Anyhow…she uses a very soft t-shirt yarn, a 12mm hook, and only 34 rounds!
There is a plain pattern which you can obtain here and then another with a slight variation – a flap is added to one side…extra seating…extra storage!!

FREE ottoman SEWING PATTERN
I don’t know about you, but I always expect homemade stuff to be far more complicated than it really is.
If you visit the BHG link, you will be amazed at how straightforward it is to sew a pouf.
Burlap is used in the post but you can use any fabric – even old coffee sacks like The Country Chic Cottage did.

MOLLIE MAKES FLOOR CUSHION PATTERN
Anne of Flax and Twine’s pattern featured in Mollie Makes, issue 65. The name Lazy Days floor cushion is quite appropriate.
The cushion is knit with arms only and the measurements are about 22 inches by 54 inches.
She used such a striking pink – this is something a tween will definitely want!

FREE ONE-HOUR FLOOR CUSHION SEWING PATTERN
Ama of Oh Oh Blog sews a floor cushion in an hour.
If you look at the pattern – it consists of 4 x triangles stitched together. She added 2 strips of ribbon to 2 corners of the cushion, which makes storing it out of the way easier.
To be quite honest, you can make your own triangle pattern, it is THAT easy!
The bright floral fabric makes it an eye-catcher!
FREE ROUND POUF KNITTING PATTERN
Craft Passion blog shares a free pouf pattern in garter stitch for the beginner and intermediate knitter.
The approximate time for completion is about 4 evenings!
I particularly like the shaping of the top of the pouf – it reminds me of a cushion my mother-in-law had on her patio.
The tutorial demonstrates how to crochet the knit pieces together, which makes neat and flat seams. You can, however, use the conventional way of sewing it together.

RECYCLED POUF FROM AN OLD SWEATER
Alice of Thoughts from Alice bought a sweater to make her pouf.
Oh my, did that come out nicely….and she got me thinking…I have an old jersey of my dad…imagine I make a pouf or cushion with it…
She made an insert and stuffed it with polyester fiberfill. You could use scraps of fabric too.
