This pouf is fun to make and is perfect to be used as a seat, a table and a footrest when needed.

This Diamond Pouf measures 50 cm / 20 inch in diameter and 35 cm / 14 inch in height.
I have also included details if you want to change the diameter to 30 cm / 11.8 inch or 40 cm / 15.7 inch. And I have also included details if you want to change the height to 30 cm / 11.8 inch or 25 cm / 10 inch.

This pouf is made with the same technique used for Mochila bags. You have to crochet this basket with two colors at the same time and with the ‘yarn under’ technique. Bottom and top are the same. For the stuffing you can use whatever you have on hand. I used an old pouf. You could use afghans, pillows, blankets, sheets, towels, poly-fill, scrap fabric…

The pattern is available in English (with American and English crochet terms) and in Dutch!

Level: intermediate (if you don’t know this technique then it is a difficult pattern)

Used yarn: Phildar Phil coton 4
Black 16 balls
White (Craie) 13 balls
