I am in absolute love with this project, from Heidi and Anna at Pickles, over in Norway.
These lovely ladies offer free patterns for knitting, crocheting, and sewing, as well as a bunch of other craft projects on their site, with Norwegian (as well as English) directions.
This latest project brings the Flocks Pouf ($800) into the price range (and onto the living room floors) of all patient knitters. Pickles notes, "I found an amazing stool a while back, but it was super expensive and I wanted to see if I could make one myself. Loads of yarn, stuffing and needles later I completed Puff Daddy (Puff means stool in Norwegian) and Puff Daddy´s Baby."
Want to see more pictures of the Puff Daddy, and its smaller pouf relative, Puff Daddy's Baby? Check them out when you read more.
If you want to get the pattern for either of these stools, check on Pickles here and here to learn how.

Oh my god. I am SO doing this project. I love those poufs but don't love the price, AND I have an old duvet looking for a new life! Perfect.
1I might have to make this my winter project. I'd love to just throw a bean bag on the floor and sit in it, I love sitting on the floor, however - all traditional ones look like they belong in a dorm room with their vinyl covers.. this is great, thanks!
2I love this! It's so wonderful!! I am so glad that crochet/knit things are being more appreciated these days!
3I started knitting not too long ago, but I only use straight needles, not circular ones and the patterns over at Pickles are with circular needles. Too bad.
4Circular needles are easier than you'd think - I actually prefer them over straight needles. You can work all projects on them, not just circular projects!
Also this project is not knit in the round - she probably used circular needles because of the size (and because you have to knit with 3 strands held together). If you found long enough straight needles you could probably do it.
