    Sweetie Pouf

    Published: May 12, 2017 · Modified: May 22, 2017 by Tamara Kelly · 2 Comments

    Babies are cute, poufs are cute, and this baby pouf is so cute I had to call it the Sweetie Pouf! Easy enough for beginners, it's got a few fun tricks I think you'll love - and it's a free crochet pattern here on Moogly!

    Designed to match the Striped Summer Baby Hoodie, the Sweetie Pouf also makes a great piece all on its own. It's a little different from your usual baby item - and that makes it stand out from the crowd! And it includes two finishing options too, for your own custom needs and wants.

    It looks great in every room, from nursery to living room - to craft room! It's fun for toddlers to play with and lounge on, and makes a great little footstool for mom or dad too. Or how about a bit of elbow support while nursing that new baby... or for tired crochet shoulders?! The uses for this tiny pouf are endless - I hope you enjoy making it!
