This Chunky Cube Pouf designed by Sarah Ruane is an elegant home accessory you can create yourself with a crochet hook, thick yarn, and 2 IKEA Dröna boxes. What you get at the end is a comfortable footstool that will make a perfect fit for your living room or bedroom. The uniform stitch texture and a simple cube shape keep it modern and minimalist, so it’s sure to match any interior decor.
How Do IKEA DRÖNA Boxes Help Create The Pouf?
This crochet floor pouf has a clever construction method that helps maintain its shape. To give it a nice polished look, the designer uses two IKEA storage boxes, inserted one into the other. You can stuff them with poly foam, old duvets, clothes, or pillows to make your handmade footstool soft and squishy.
How Is The Pouf Cover Constructed?
The pattern uses simple single crochet stitches and consists of three parts. First, you crochet the sides as one long rectangle piece that wraps around the storage box insert. The top and bottom are made separately and then joined to the sides with slip stitches.
What Yarn Do I Need For This Project?
For this crochet pouf project, you can use regular or T-shirt super bulky yarn. It can be your favorite brand or one used by the designer – Hoooked Zpagetti. It’s available in both solid and variegated colorways, so whether you’re after a simple minimalist look or a bold multicolored effect, everyone will find something to their liking.
