Floor cushion / Pouff

In April 2014 we made a Hexagon Pouf or floorcushion in my hooky group.  I was asked to lead the CAL and this was the result.

I bought a pouf from a retail store and made to cover to fit.  The yarn is a chunky acrylic and I used a 6mm

I made enough hexagons to cover the top of my cushion.  I used this lovely pattern

http://lavenderwildrose.blogspot.co.uk/2012/09/starburst-hexagon-pattern-tutorial.html and the loast row of each hexagon was done in the ivory colour and then joined by crocheting in the back loop only.  I filled in the gaps and did one more row  in DC (double crochet) all round.

The base was done in one colour following a round in the ivory colour, also adding button holes.  www.petalstopicots.com/2011/11/how-to-crochet-button-holes-html/

 

 

The base and the hexagon cover was joined with a band made with double crochet stitches.

 

 

I also made this pouf for my sister's new house.  No pattern for this one.

 

 

 

This is a fun way to update an old and tired looking floor cushion.  PS:  I still have to make another one.
