This ribbed-stitch pouf from MJ’s Off The Hook Designs gets its cozy, corduroy-like texture from front post double crochet stitches worked in the round from the top down. It’s an intermediate-level pattern made with super bulky yarn (like Mary Maxim Starlette Chunky) on a 9mm hook, and it includes an easy liner tutorial to hold your stuffing or bean bag fill, with the option to close it permanently or with a drawstring. The full technique is demonstrated step-by-step, for free, in the designer’s video tutorial — the complete written PDF pattern is also available on Ravelry, where it’s sold as a paid download.
This oversized, textured pumpkin pouf from Christa Lynn is a fun seasonal statement piece that doubles as extra seating or a footrest. The post-stitch detailing creates a realistic ridged pumpkin shape, complete with a sturdy crocheted stem. It’s written for beginners and works up in worsted weight yarn with an 8mm and 9mm hook, and a video tutorial is included for anyone who wants to follow along visually. At about 19″ wide and 17″ tall, it’s the perfect autumn accent for a living room or reading corner.
Designed with kids in mind, this bunny-shaped Tunisian crochet pouf from Noorain Nizami doubles as a pillow or a squishy pull-along companion. It’s made in Tunisian simple stitch with light colorwork, and optional straps let little ones carry it from room to room. Finished size is about 14″ high with a 51″ circumference, using super bulky yarn and an 8mm Tunisian hook.
Add a stylish handmade touch to your living space with this crochet granny pouf cover pattern. It’s an easy way to give your home accessory a makeover. The cover works up with granny stitches, producing a beautiful open-spaced fabric. You can use as many colors as you like, depending on whether you want your pouf...
This clever cube-shaped pouf from Sarah Ruane uses two IKEA Drona storage boxes as the internal structure — one filled with stuffing, the other pushed upside-down over it to create a firm, boxy shape. The cover is crocheted in three separate pieces (sides, top, and base) using super bulky t-shirt yarn like Hoooked Zpagetti, then slip-stitched together. It’s a great option if you want a modern, geometric alternative to the usual round pouf. The finished size is roughly 34cm x 39cm x 34cm.
There are various projects for crochet pillows and cushions, featuring a myriad of techniques. However, we can easily see one common denominator – the tightness of the stitches. While lacy designs exist, they are not very common. The most often used stitches include basic short ones, such as single crochet and half double crochet, or interlocking stitches, such as moss stitch or alpine stitch. The latter is highly structural, which leads us to another segment – textured stitches. Crochet pillows often feature bobble stitches, popcorn stitches, post stitches or braids. Mosaic crochet techniques are also a great idea for this type of project.
Usually, an insert is a better idea. The structure of the crocheted piece always has small holes, no matter how dense the stitch is, which can result in stuffing coming out. Without the inner layer, squeezing the pillow may distort its intended shape. It’s also much easier and safer to clean, especially if the crocheted sleeve is removable.
In crochet pillows and cushions, we look for durability and sturdiness. Cotton and acrylic hold the shape very well and are easy to clean. If you want something softer, go for velvet yarns – bulky, quick to work with, and amazingly pleasant to touch. For a more rustic look, choose natural linens, cotton blends, or even jute.
