Perfectly pouffy!
Knit nights will never be the same again with your tootsies on this comfy treat.
If you shy away from knitting homewares because you think they take too long to make, we might be able to change your mind. This bouncy pouffe is worked in Bernat Wool- Up Bulky on 6 mm circular needles and knits up in no time! Don’t be fooled by the circular needles, this living room staple is worked flat (back and forth across the needles) and seamed at the back, making it super simple to finish, too. With just the smallest amount of wrap and turn shaping, once knitted this perky pouffe will soon become a favourite among family and friends.
