A FAMILY OF PUFFS

If you were inspired by my last post where I showed Christien Menderstma's Urchin Puff (which btw retails for $800 at Design Within Reach ...Ouch!) , you will be happy to know that Anna & Heidi Pickles offer a whole family of Puff patterns for FREE. These Puffs (Norweigan word for stool) are meant to be knitted in a much thinner yarn, Acrylic is recommended and you need to get yourself a pair of size #19 US circular needles.

PUFF DADDY:

Materials:

Eskimo, 18 balls (Or yarn suitable for US #13 needles)

Acrylic yarn would probably be a really good alternative, as it´s a piece of furniture

US #19 circular needles 2 cheap duves (feather and down)

Instructions:

Cast on 35 stitches using three threads.

Knit the garter stitch until you´ve knitted all the balls, and there is just enough yarn left to asseble the stool.

You now have ONE rectangular piece.

Cast off loosely.

Assemble the short sides (35 stitch side) as neatly as you can.

Assemble the first long side. This is supposed to be the top or the bottom of the stool. Put the needle through the end stitch of every second row and tighten, tighten, tighten! Repeat on the rows in between and tighten until there is no whole in the middle.

Stuff the duves into the stool. We tried to make a ball of the duves before we stuffed it.

Assemble the other end in the same manner as the first.

And there you go! Your first knitted furniture perhaps?
