KNITTED POUF
A simple and yet stunning pouf for the nursery. The pouf is knitted in stocking stitch with fine ridges of reversed stocking stitch. All the colours are worked at once. The strands are intertwined at the colour changes. Worked in stocking stitch with German short rows to achieve a smooth, rounded shape.
