Puff Mama
Yarn
Pickles Fat & Happy, 1000 g
Needles
Circular needles US 15
Pattern
Cast on 48 stitches on circular needles US 15. Knit one row. On the next row increase one stitch in every stitch (=96 s) Then repeat the following two rows until you have enough yarn left for one finishing row and binding off.
Row 1: *K2, P2* until end of row
Row 2: K1, *P2, K2* until one stitch is left. K1.
If you want stripes, always knit the first row in the new colour with only knit stitches, and then continue with pattern to avoid the purl stitches to be visible on the right side. This technique gives you a really neat result.
Finishing row:
K1, K3tog until end of row.
Bind off. Use a thick needle, or your fingers, to get the thread through all the stitches. Tighten and assemble.
The pouf can be filled with a big duvet, some cheap IKEA cushions or if you want a real hard pouf; cut lots of old clothes into pieces. If your knitting is loose, and there are holes you can see through, you should use a pillow or duvetcover in a matching colour to put your filling into.
Close the pouf in the other end.

I'm dying to make this. And have a question. Are you using more than one yarn while knitting? Thanks. Isa
Excellent! I love the colors! :)
Should you be joining the stitches into a circle after you cast them on? I'm guessing the answer is yes, but if so, I would add "join" after the instructions to cast on. Some people manage a large number of stitches by putting them on circulars and knitting back and forth.
Hi,
Lovely pattern, what length circular needles would you need for this pattern?
Thanks,
Edwina
Hi!
Are you just using the one skein of wool for this or 3, like Puff Daddy?
Thanks,
Ange
I love this!!! How big is it? I mean, could you use it like a bean bag chair or is this more like a foot stool?
Hello!
I can't wait for the new Fat & Happy skeins! When can we expect them to be ready? Also, I didn't see any answers for the previous questions (but maybe I didn't look too well) : what lenghth of circular needles do we need to knit Puff Mama and how big is it (i'm thinking of filling it with old clothes so i'd like to make a case to contain the pieces of fabric).
Thank you for your beautiful patterns!
Love from France!
I agree, what length needles?? I'm guessing 24" or possibly a little less.
The Pickles folks responded to my email, saying 80cm! In America that translates to 29-30"
My question is the same as the previous, do you use three of the skeins at once like in puff daddy? or just one? (please say one since that is all I can actually afford)
I like your puffs much better than Garn's at http://www.garnstudio.com/lang/en/visoppskrift.php?d_nr=124&d_id=8&lang=us
I'd also like to know the length to knit the piece. I'm using a different yarn from a stash I've had for years...would love to use it on this pouf. Much thanks!
