Bring fall magic into your home decor with this Giant Pumpkin Floor Pouf Crochet Pattern by Christa Lynn. It’s soft, big, and squishy, so you can use it as an extra seat or a footrest while lounging around, reading your favorite book, or watching TV. With bold structural lines and a sturdy stem, this handmade pouf looks like an actual pumpkin picked straight from the garden.
What Yarn Do I Need to Crochet This Pumpkin Pouf?
The pattern calls for medium-weight yarn, and you will use it by holding three strands at a time. This will give your pumpkin pouf a nice chunky look and soft, defined texture. But if you prefer, you can use one strand of super bulky or jumbo yarn instead.
The designer chose Ice Yarns Saver to make the sample shown in the photos. You will need 10 skeins in orange, 1 skein in green, and some scraps of brown yarn for the stem.
What Crochet Stitches Are Used In This Pattern?
The pumpkin floor pouf is crocheted flat as a long rectangle panel. It incorporates mostly double crochets as well as front post double crochet stitches every few rows. Once the main panel is done, you sew both sides together and the fabric is gathered by pulling a thread through it. The step-by-step video tutorial makes it an easy project even for beginners.
Can You Make The Pumpkin Floor Pouf Bigger Or Smaller?
Yes, you can. Actually, it’s very simple to do so with this pattern. To modify the final size of your crochet floor pouf, you need to add or reduce row repeats. You should remember just about one thing. Your rectangle panel should be twice as long as it is tall. The designer’s piece measures 22” tall and 44” long when measured flat before sewing.
