The foot stool/pouf/tuffet is Ta-Done!
And to think, I was going to scrap the project for lack of interest.
You can find a link to the base pattern I used through my pinterest board here.
When I am a little old crazy cat lady, I can sit in my wooden rocking chair with my feet propped and crochet all day and night.
Now I am contemplating a matching seat cushion…

Excellent work, and good on you for hanging in there. I’m not footbally but I love the colours anyway. It’s wonderful when the big jobs get finished, isn’t it? I’m speaking from memory here, haven’t finished a Big Job in Far Too Long.

I’m not a foot stool kinda girl either, but I have this little problem of my feet dangling when I sit in the rocker. Frankie says my “knees are awfully close the ground” ~ his silly way of calling me a shortie. I never sit there because I can’t get comfy and then of course, it becomes the living room coat rack and blanket dump site. I’ve been so thrilled with the outcome that I immediately started another Big Job to match. I wish I could stick to the small jobs ~ don’t let the Big Ones suck you into their vortex 🙂

I had to extend the number of rows to fit over my foam form. As for how long it took, I have no earthly idea because I messed with it for many months and it was ignored for long periods of time.

LOVE this but would like to make a foot stool cover just like yours – the pattern seems to be just for a pillow – can you tell me what you did to convert the pattern to cover the foot-stool…Thanks so much! Nancy

Hi Nancy,
Since you’ve already seen the pattern, you know that it is just a rectangle full of chevrons. All you have to do to make it fit over a cylinder form is to make more rows. I measured from the top center to the bottom center to get my approximate length and spaced my color changes by guessing. I know there are more scientific ways to do it with math and gauge, but I’m not so much of a perfectionist sometimes 🙂 Consequently, my color changes are not 100% symmetrical, but I am still happy with them. I would love to see your finished product! Please feel free to share 🙂

Hi – Thanks so much for your speedy reply! I just love the way it looks…..I think I am going to give it a shot but need to finish off on some small stash buster projects first and decide on a color to purchase for this – it really is gorgeous 🙂 Nancy
