hurray the gray pouf cover is finished!
in an earlier post about the cover i had written that i had to work with two shades of a variegated yarn, but the effect is not bad at all. the circles were created themselves while crocheting.
i have this pouf made in the same way as the yellow floor cushion, the difference is that when i was almost at the side of the pouf, i stopped increasing the number of stitches.
both parts of the pouf cover i hooked together with the wrong sides facing each other and alternately crocheted a h dc into the edge of one half and then one h dc in the other half. the last part of securing the seam was tricky because the pouf is too large to hold in a handy way and crochet at the same time. well it worked – with a lot of moaning and grumbling i must admit. if i want to wash the cover, i have to detach a part of the seam and reconnecting when washed and dried.
what you think of the end result?

Hi~ I really LOVE this floor pillow! And your idea to use two different colors of varigated yarn?…ingenious. I love the varigateds but they don’t look right in just anything..I think this is a winner!TracyAnn ..visiting from Yarn-a-Long and http://www.crochethappy.com

I love it! Fabulous colour and size – just perfect 🙂 I started one earlier in the year but stopped when I realised it was going to take as much wool as a blanket to crochet! 😉 Might go back to it one day. Loving yours 🙂 Kx

You’re floor cushion is great. I love the grey. It reminds me of a giant river stone. And thank you so much for the tutorial. I’ve been wanting to crochet a round cushion for ages.

The pouf cover looks very professional, I am sure that you will find an interior designer willing to buy it!

What a great cushion! I can do crochet, but my wrist hursts quite a lot from it, I need to do smaller project.

Looks so cozy. I have a maroon crochet pouf that matched my bedroom decor until now but I’m re-designing my room around a new bed that’s grey so this inspires me …

@Lamina Thank you:)I do have bought a cushion ready made from a Dutch company, here is the link: http://kussengigant.nl/contents/nl/d81.htmlThe cushion that I have is – measured from side seam to side seam – 70 cm, it is very firm and you can sit well on it. Sometimes ready made is nice and easy;)
