It’s been a while since I offered a free crochet pattern, so I designed a crochet floor pouf tutorial. It’s my little thank you to all my amazing followers! Thanks so much for following and liking all my creations.
Quick and Easy with Loads of Texture!
I love the ribbed look; Bernat Chunky Cotten gives the floor poof a nice stiff rope-like texture. Unfortunately, this yarn was only available for a limited time. I have been searching for the perfect substitution and finally found it! Starlette Chunky from Mary Maxim gives the same feel and look but without any gaps.
It’s the perfect thickness and texture, giving the perfect sturdy floor poof. It’s also soft, making it great on the hands to work with. I love the gorgeous range of colours they offer. Check them all out through the links below!
The crochet flour pouf is one of those patterns you’ll want to keep making repeatedly!
