Super Chunky in Eskimo Puff Ottoman by isWoolish

What is Being Made

This crochet pattern creates a luxurious puff ottoman in three customizable sizes. The Super Chunky in Eskimo Puff Ottoman is a substantial home décor piece designed to serve as both a functional footrest and an elegant accent cushion. The pattern offers three distinct size options to suit different spaces and preferences: Size A measures 50 cm in diameter by 30 cm in height (20" x 12"), Size B measures 60 cm in diameter by 35 cm in height (23.5" x 14"), and Size C measures 80 cm in diameter by 40 cm in height (31" x 15.5").

Craft and Techniques

This project is created using the crochet technique, making it an excellent choice for beginners seeking to build foundational skills while producing an impressive finished piece. The pattern employs a straightforward approach by working with multiple strands of yarn held together, which creates the characteristic chunky, textured appearance of the ottoman. The construction method allows crafters to work with either three strands of standard super bulky yarn or a single strand of extra-thick yarn, providing flexibility based on available materials and personal preference.

Stitches Used

The pattern utilizes fundamental crochet stitches suitable for beginner-level crafters. The primary stitch employed is single crochet (referred to as double crochet in UK terminology), which forms the dense, structured fabric of the ottoman. The pattern also incorporates increases to shape the circular form and create the dimensional puff structure characteristic of this ottoman design.

Materials and Tools

The Super Chunky in Eskimo Puff Ottoman requires specific materials to achieve the intended finished appearance and structure:

• Yarn: Drops Eskimo in super bulky weight (5-6 wpi classification). Quantity varies by size: Size A requires 21 balls of 50g each (1,050 grams total), Size B requires 27 balls of 50g each (1,350 grams total), and Size C requires 41 balls of 50g each (2,050 grams total). Each ball contains 50 meters (55 yards) of yarn. Alternative yarns with identical super bulky characteristics may be substituted.
• Crochet Hook: A 15 mm (US size 19) crochet hook is the primary tool specified for this pattern. This oversized hook accommodates the three-strand yarn construction method. Alternatively, crafters using single-strand extra-thick yarn may work with a hook sized for that yarn weight.
• Gauge: The pattern is worked to a gauge of 5 stitches and 4 rows measuring 4 inches (10 centimeters) in single crochet, which is essential for achieving the correct finished dimensions.
