Pouf Cushion in Adriafil Navy - Downloadable PDF

Crochet Pouf Cushion Pattern Using Adriafil Navy Yarn – Free Downloadable PDF

This free downloadable PDF pattern from Adriafil provides full instructions for crocheting a large, floor-ready pouf cushion with a finished diameter of 50 cm and a height of 16 cm. Worked in two circular pieces and joined together, this chunky crochet pouf is an achievable and rewarding project for confident beginners and intermediate crocheters alike. The finished piece is stuffed with wadding to create a firm, supportive cushion suitable for use as a footrest or extra seating.

What Is Being Made

The pattern produces a round pouf cushion — a large, stuffed floor cushion constructed from two flat crocheted circles that are seamed together around the edge. The design features a two-tone colourwork scheme using white (shade no. 41) and blue (shade no. 40) from the Adriafil Navy yarn range. The striped detailing appears across the top section and around the side band, giving the pouf a clean, contemporary look with classic nautical appeal.

Materials Required

• Yarn: Adriafil Navy in two colourways — 250 g in white (no. 41) and 100 g in blue (no. 40), totalling 350 g
• Crochet hook: Size no. 9
• Wadding for stuffing the finished pouf
• Tapestry needle for seaming and weaving in ends

Stitches Used

• Chain stitch – used to create the initial foundation ring at the centre of each circular piece
• Single crochet (sc) – used to close each round and join the starting chain into a ring
• Treble crochet (tr) – the primary stitch used throughout both sections, worked in the round to build up the flat circular shape

Techniques Used

The pouf is worked in the round, beginning with a small foundation chain of 4 stitches closed into a loop with a single crochet. From this central ring, treble crochet stitches are worked outward in expanding rounds, with regular increases distributed evenly across each row to maintain a flat, circular profile — a classic technique for crocheting flat circles in the round. This method is used for both the bottom and the top sections of the pouf.

The colourwork striping on the top section is achieved by alternating yarn colours on a row-by-row basis. Rows 2 through 10 of the top piece alternate one row of white with one row of blue, followed by five rows of white. The side band then continues with a sequence of 2 rows blue, 4 rows white, and 2 rows blue, creating a bold striped border around the circumference of the cushion.

Construction and Finishing

The pouf is constructed in two separate pieces — a plain bottom circle and a striped top circle — which are then joined together using a tapestry needle, leaving an opening of approximately half the circumference. The wadding is inserted through this opening to fill the pouf before the seam is fastened closed. This straightforward make-up method makes the finishing process accessible even for those new to constructing three-dimensional crochet projects.

Tension and Sizing

The stated tension gauge is 6 rows of treble crochet worked in the round measuring 10 cm with a no. 9 hook. Achieving the correct tension is important for ensuring the finished pouf reaches its intended dimensions of 50 cm in diameter and 16 cm in height. Each circular section is worked until it measures 24 cm from the beginning before the yarn is broken off and bound.

Yarn Weight and Craft

This is a crochet pattern worked in chunky weight yarn. The Adriafil Navy yarn's chunky weight pairs well with the large no. 9 hook, producing a dense, structured fabric that holds its shape well once stuffed —
