Basic Crochet Floor Pouf Pattern

This pattern outlines the basic structure for a standard-sized floor pouf. Adjust as needed for your preferred size.

Abbreviations

• ch – Chain
• sc – Single Crochet
• sl st – Slip Stitch
• st(s) – Stitch(es)
• inc – Increase (work two stitches in the same stitch)
• dec – Decrease (crochet two stitches together)

Step 1: Start with a Magic Ring

A magic ring is a great foundation for a circular base.

1. Magic Ring: Create a magic ring and ch 1.
2. Round 1: Work 6 sc into the ring. Sl st to the first sc to close the round.

Step 2: Build the Base of the Pouf

Work in rounds to create the base, gradually increasing stitches for a larger circle.

1. Round 2: Inc in each st around (12 sts).
2. Round 3: Sc in next st, inc in next st; repeat around (18 sts).
3. Round 4: Sc in next 2 sts, inc in next st; repeat around (24 sts).

Continue increasing in this pattern until the base reaches your desired width.

Step 3: Build Up the Sides

Once you’ve reached the desired base size, work without increasing to build up the height.

1. Rounds 10-20: Sc in each st around, maintaining the stitch count from your last increase row. Repeat until the sides reach your desired height.

Step 4: Create the Top

To finish, you’ll decrease stitches to close off the top.

1. Decrease Rounds: Sc in next 2 sts, dec in next st; repeat around until only a small opening remains.
2. Stuffing: Fill the pouf with your stuffing material, pushing it into all corners and ensuring an even shape.

Once fully stuffed, continue decreasing until the opening is closed. Fasten off and weave in any loose ends.
