MILK BUN POUF

 

Cozy, soft and warm - just like a freshly baked milk bun - this pouf is one of the things that can transform a house into a home.

Milk Bun Pouf is full of lovely texture that is easy and entertaining to knit. Cable twists appear only once in ten rows but add a lot of visual interest. Super bulky yarn makes this project a satisfying and fast knit, while well-thought-through design looks great from any side.

There is an opening at the bottom to make stuffing the pouf easier. It is secured with a drawstring and is almost invisible. The opening lets you remove the filling and wash the pouf, or add more filling if needed later.
