Sadly, I don’t have the reference photo at hand, of the pouffe that inspired me to take up crochet. I saw it at Vicky’s holiday house at the South Coast a few weekends ago. She also had millions of granny square blankets, which inspired me to dig out a book of granny squares from my craft library. They are easy enough to make!!!
So I started on a few granny squares and found them very addictive to make and could not stop. Then I found a crochet mandala tutorial on the web… And instead of making a pouffe with a plain side and a seperate granny square blanket, I put the two ideas together: a pouffe with granny square sides!
Two nights ago, I made a big cushion from calico. Stuffing the cushion with the beans from an old bean bag seemed to take longer than crocheting the cover, LOL! Last night I hand sewed the bottom of the side to the bottom of the cushion, and VOILA! A fabulous pouffe for our lounge room!
i have been working at Sydney Theatre Company for a few weeks. This is my view! Just stunning.

Wow, that pouffe is gorgeous!
Thank you, it’s a great way of using up small ends of yarn.
Very true. I’ve managed to find good use for yarn ends in granny squares too!
That is so kickass. Love the granny square sides. And your view!!!
Many thanks… Granny squares Rock!
