• Hook: Size L (8.0 mm) crochet hook

• Fiberfill or cushion insert: for stuffing the pouf
• Tapestry needle: for sewing the squares together

Step-by-Step Instructions

Creating the Squares (Make 24)

1. Start with a magic ring: Create a loop with your yarn, leaving a long tail for later use.
2. Round 1: Chain 1, then work 8 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Slip stitch (sl st) to the first single crochet to join the round. (You should have 8 stitches.)
3. Round 2: Chain 1, then work 2 single crochets in each stitch around. Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join the round. (You should have 16 stitches.)
4. Round 3: Chain 1, then work (1 single crochet in the next stitch, 2 single crochets in the next stitch) around. Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join the round. (You should have 24 stitches.)
5. Round 4: Chain 1, then work (1 single crochet in the next 2 stitches, 2 single crochets in the next stitch) around. Slip stitch to the first single crochet to join the round. (You should have 32 stitches.)
6. Fasten off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail for sewing. Weave in the ends using a tapestry needle.

Assembling the Pouf

1. Arrange the squares: Lay out your 24 squares in a grid pattern of 4 rows and 6 columns.
2. Sew the squares together: Using a tapestry needle and a length of yarn, sew the squares together with a whip stitch, matching the edges of each square. Continue until all squares are connected.
3. Form the cube: Fold the assembled piece into a cube shape. Sew the sides together, leaving one side open for stuffing.
4. Stuff the pouf: Fill the pouf with fiberfill or a cushion insert until it reaches your desired firmness.
5. Close the pouf: Sew the remaining open side closed securely.

Finishing Touches

1. Weave in any remaining ends: Ensure all loose ends are tucked away neatly.
2. Block the pouf: If necessary, lightly block the pouf to shape it as desired.
