Puff Daddy´s baby - knitted stool

Puff Daddy´s popularity inspired us to create a baby for him. This stool is knitted using the moss stitch, adding a really nice texture to it.
What we used
9 balls of Eskimo, or similar
A cushion from Ikea, or a cheap duvet
Circular knitting needles, 15 mm
Thick needle to assemble the stool
How we did it
Cast on 25 stitches using three threads.
Every row is knitted like this:
* K1, P1*
Repeat from * to* the throughout the row.
To create the moss stitch you simply knit over a purl and purl over a knit.
Knit all the 9 balls, but leave enough yarn for the assembly. Cast odd loosely.
Assemble the two short sides as neatly as possible.
Now assemble the bottom. Put your needle into the end stitch of every second row and tighten. Put the needle into the stitches you left out and tighten again. There´s not supposed to be a hole at all when you´re done.
Stuff your stool with a big cushion or a duvet (we preferred the last one) and repeat the assembly on the top.
Anyways, the stool is noe done!

This is a free stool knitting pattern from pickles.no. We´ll be thrilled if you use it. Please link to us if you do;)

Great idea and pattern!
What is the gauge (i.e., stitches per inch, rows per inch)?
I linked to it on www.sparkbark.com - what a great idea! I'm going to have to try it with different textures. It's like a giant amigurumi body or head - could try with crochet, too. Something to think about, anyway....I love it and thanks for the great idea!!!
Can you tell me the final sizes of each poof? I can not get a good idea of scale from the photos. Thanks!
The big one is approximately 175 cm around verically and 150 cm horizontally. The smaller one is about half the size.
Hope this helps;)
