What materials and tools are needed to create an ottoman?
Before each task, it is recommended to carefully prepare in advance. In our case, it is important to understand that to simplify knitting, you should purchase thick yarn. It will give the product volume and make it comfortable. Don’t forget about the list of necessary materials and tools. These include:
- Do-it-yourself crochet filling for a knitted ottoman (you can choose the one you have);
- Yarn. It's best to stick with cotton;
- The largest size knitting needles or hooks (to get the job done quickly, 10–15 mm will be enough).
Filling, if you don’t have it, can be purchased at any fabric stores.
REFERENCE! You can cheat and use unnecessary and old things as filler. Unused blankets that are a pity to throw away are considered suitable.
How to crochet an ottoman from knitted yarn
Once all the components are ready, you can decide on the size of the crocheted knitted yarn pouf.Standard option: 60 by 40 centimeters, where the first indicator is the width and the second is the height. So, by following these steps, you can build the desired object:
- The very first step will be to create a cover. To do this, you need to take a small piece of fabric, the scale of which should be 100 by 165 cm, and sew the product in the form of a tube.
- Next, you should tie one of the sides with a rope and turn the resulting part inside out so that the knot is inside.
- This way you will get a special case into which you can fill the filler.
- Then you can tie the top part of the product and straighten the remaining fabric.
- To create lace you need to use a pearl pattern. To do this, alternate knit and purl stitches in a row.
- The resulting cover is placed on a piece of fabric. This will require a hook to sew the two halves together. If you show your imagination, you can decorate the pouf with decorative buttons. In this case, the cover can be easily removed and washed periodically.
