Dewberry Hassock

Knit entirely in the round this is a super fun pouf, ottoman, footstool, whatever you'd like to call it! The colorwork is slip stitch mosaic style so it is much easier than it looks, you're only ever working with one color at a time.

You will be holding two strands of yarn at the same time throughout the pattern so it works up more quickly than the yardage would imply. For the “base” color you hold the same solid color double and when the color comes in you hold a solid with a variegated to create the beautiful dewberry flower motif.

You will need 6 balls of the base color (about 1,200 yards/1,100 m). Then you will need 2 balls of the solid contrast and 2 balls of the variegated contrast, which comes to about 380 yards/ 348 m apiece.

I chose to use an acrylic blend yarn because of the end use for this type of item, I recommend steam blocking the colorwork before you get to the stuffing stage.
