T-Shirt Yarn Bobble Pouffe Crochet Pattern

What Is Being Made

This is a crochet pouffe (also called a pouf or floor cushion) designed by isWoolish. The finished pouffe measures 45 cm (17.5 inches) in diameter and 35 cm (13.5 inches) in height, making it a substantial seating cushion or decorative floor piece suitable for living rooms, bedrooms, or creative spaces.

Craft and Techniques

This project uses crochet as the primary construction method. The pattern is classified as beginner-level difficulty, making it accessible to those new to crochet who want to create a substantial, impressive finished object. The project combines crochet fabric construction with stuffing techniques to create a three-dimensional pouffe form.

Stitches Used

The pattern employs fundamental crochet stitches suitable for beginners:

• Chain stitch – used to create foundation rows and increase stitches
• Single crochet (USA terms; equivalent to double crochet in UK terminology) – the primary stitch forming the fabric base
• Cluster stitch (UK treble cluster) – a decorative textured stitch created by working yarn over, inserting the hook into a stitch, drawing up a loop, and drawing yarn through loops on the hook

The gauge is 7 stitches and 7 rows over 4 inches (10 cm) in single crochet, which helps determine the final dimensions and fabric density.

Materials and Tools

Yarn: The pattern calls for HOOOKED ZPAGETTI SOLID yarn in a super chunky weight, specifically in Pink Shades/Beige Pink coloring. This yarn is made from recycled t-shirt material, creating an eco-conscious and textured finished pouffe. The project requires approximately 320 meters (350 yards) of yarn, which is slightly more than 2½ bundles. Each bundle weighs 700 g (25 oz) and measures 120 meters (131 yards).

Crochet hook: A 10 mm (US N/15) crochet hook is used, which is appropriately sized for the super chunky yarn weight and creates the correct fabric density.

Additional materials: The pouffe interior requires a fabric lining measuring 120 cm x 150 cm (42 inches x 60 inches) and approximately 40-45 liters of styrofoam pearls for stuffing, which provides cushioning and structure to the finished pouffe.

Pattern Details

The pattern is written using USA crochet terminology and includes a complete stitch glossary with symbols for reference. The combination of super chunky yarn weight and larger hook size means stitches work up quickly, making this an ideal project for creating an impressive finished piece in a relatively short timeframe. The use of recycled t-shirt yarn adds both sustainability and unique texture to the final pouffe.
