Here I will show you how the knitted pouf is made
It’s not diffucult and the pictures will also show you how it works.
Material:
I used three bundles of The shirt yarn ( wich you can buy here)
You use knitting needles 18mm, I made my own, because I wanted them longer.
How I made the pouf, size cross cut 39 cm
Cast on 22 stiches with two threads of Zpagetti yarn, if you have any other thread which is thick enough, feel free to use it.
22 stitches is equal to about 40 cm wide (15,7 inch)
Continue in garter stitch
Work till you have the length two times longer than you work is wide (80cm)(31,4 inch)
So if you want to make a bigger pouf cast on more stiches and make your work longer!
Close the short sides of your work
Than work a thread through the long side of your work, but skip each time one row. In the pictures it is shown with a purple thread.
when you did this all the way, you pull the thread very hard, so your work wil close!
Then make a inside cover out of strech material, wich is a little bit bigger than the knitted piece!
Put the inside cover in the knitted piece and fill it firmly, with whatever you like, I filled it with feathers.
Close the top of the inside cover firmly.
Then close the top the same way as you closed the bottom, so skip each time 1 row and pull and close firmly!
And there it is, your own beautiful POUF, made by you!!!!

Love your pouf! So, you only used 2 bundles of yarn for your finished pouf? Also, how big is the finished piece? Thanks for any info!
With 2 bundles, you can make a pouf 39 cm cross cut!
Two baby bundles or regular? Saw you have big baby ones 😉
You’ll need two 900 gram bundles so 2x 135 yards
great tutorial! thank you so much!
do you happen to have a detailed tutorial for this pattern (taken from pickle’s

Hello,
Could you please guide me on the closing of the ends, please? I did try and unfortunately, I ended up with a huge hole when I pulled through to fasten them 😦
Pleaseee help 😦
Love,

Can you show me picture of what you’re doing??
Hello 🙂 How can I send you the picture here? There’s no way I can upload it 😦 I made a bigger pouf actually by casting on 55 stitches. i tried closing it by threading in every other row but the hole was way too big so i undid that and threaded in every 2 rows. that way the hole is closed much better but yet, i can fit in about 4 fingers through that hole 😦 Is there a way I can close that up too?
I made this according to the pattern given. I found when I tried to sew ends up there was too much thickness. I wish it was decreased a little toward the top and bottom so it wasn’t so bulky. Thks
What is the height?
Depends on the size you want the pouf to be
This way is amazing thanks alot
