Knitting a pouf, master class

The following materials and tools will be required.

- Knitting needles (10-15mm).
- Filler (foam rubber, polystyrene foam).
The thread can be folded 4-5 times for greater thickness.
For this yarn, a 10x10 cm sample will consist of 14 rows of 8 stitches. To knit a pouf 50x50 cm high and wide, you need to cast on 40 stitches (8 stitches x 5 times = 40 stitches) and knit a rectangle in length 14 rows of 10 times, for a total of 140 rows.
Having knitted the fabric, it must be closed into a ring with a hook or a needle across the width. Then the pouf is filled with filler and sewn. Additionally, you can knit a cover from knitted yarn. To find out how much yarn we need, you need to knit a sample and count the resulting rows.
A pouf is crocheted in the same way.To crochet a pouf with your own hands, you will need thick yarn (ribbon yarn is perfect, as it will hold its shape well).
