Step-by-Step Instructions

Follow these detailed instructions to create your cozy geometric pouf:

1. Start with a Magic Ring: Create a magic ring by wrapping the yarn around your fingers and pulling a loop through. This will be the center of your pouf.
2. Round 1: Work 6 single crochets (sc) into the magic ring. Pull the tail of the yarn to tighten the ring.
3. Round 2: Increase by working 2 sc in each stitch around. You should have 12 stitches at the end of this round.
4. Round 3: *Sc in the next stitch, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. You will have 18 stitches at the end of this round.
5. Round 4: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch*; repeat this pattern around. You will have 24 stitches at the end of this round.
6. Continue Increasing: Keep increasing by adding one more single crochet between increases in each round until you reach a total of 72 stitches. The pattern will look like this:
   • Round 5: *Sc in the next 3 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch* (30 stitches)
   • Round 6: *Sc in the next 4 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch* (36 stitches)
   • Round 7: *Sc in the next 5 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch* (42 stitches)
   • Round 8: *Sc in the next 6 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch* (48 stitches)
   • Round 9: *Sc in the next 7 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch* (54 stitches)
   • Round 10: *Sc in the next 8 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch* (60 stitches)
   • Round 11: *Sc in the next 9 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch* (66 stitches)
   • Round 12: *Sc in the next 10 stitches, 2 sc in the next stitch* (72 stitches)
7. Work Even: After reaching 72 stitches, work even in single crochet for 20 rounds. This will create the body of your pouf.
8. Begin Decreasing: Start to decrease to shape the top of the pouf. *Sc in the next 10 stitches, sc2tog*; repeat this pattern around. You will have 66 stitches at the end of this round.
9. Continue Decreasing: Keep decreasing by reducing the number of single crochets between decreases in each round until you have 12 stitches left. The pattern will look like this:
   • Round 2: *Sc in the next 9 stitches, sc2tog* (60 stitches)
   • Round 3: *Sc in the next 8 stitches, sc2tog* (54 stitches)
   • Round 4: *Sc in the next 7 stitches, sc2tog* (48 stitches)
   • Round 5: *Sc in the next 6 stitches, sc2tog* (42 stitches)
   • Round 6: *Sc in the next 5 stitches, sc2tog* (36 stitches)
   • Round 7: *Sc in the next 4 stitches, sc2tog* (30 stitches)
   • Round 8: *Sc in the next 3 stitches, sc2tog* (24 stitches)
   • Round 9: *Sc in the next 2 stitches, sc2tog* (18 stitches)
   • Round 10: *Sc in the next stitch, sc2tog* (12 stitches)
10. Fasten Off: Cut the yarn, leaving a long tail. Use this tail to close the top of the pouf.
11. Stuff the Pouf: Fill the pouf with fiberfill or insert a pre-made pouf insert to give it structure and comfort.
12. Close the Pouf: Weave the tail through the remaining stitches and pull tight to close the top. Secure the yarn and weave in any remaining ends with a tapestry needle.

Your cozy geometric pouf is now complete! Enjoy its modern aesthetic and functionality in your home.
