Round or square crochet pouf?
There is no ideal format for your crochet puff, but the one that most harmonizes with the size of your environment and the style of the place.
In the case of the small living room, where all the furniture needs to be designed to optimize space and ensure better circulation in the environment, you can use the square crochet puff, as it “fits” in all corners – under the sideboard, when sofa side etc. But this is not a rule. If you use the round crochet puff in the decoration, it will also have a beautiful and functional result.

Reform your puff with the crochet puff cover
If you already have a puff, but are tired of its color and style, it is worth investing in the crochet puff cover as a way to renew the environment with different colors and textures.
However, it is necessary to take some care so that the finish of your crochet puff cover is impeccable, such as:
- Puff upholstery: It is not a rule, but it is more indicated that the color of the upholstery is closer to the color you are making the crochet cover for puff. This way, you avoid the background becoming apparent. One solution is to coat the puff with the same color as the crochet cover, and only then place the cover on top.
- Size: The tighter your cover is, the better. So, measure the piece and make a crochet puff cover that is the right size. It is worth making it a little bigger and adjusting it when attaching the cover to the bottom of the puff.
- Filling for crochet puff: Make sure the filling is fluffy and soft for your guests to sit on. If necessary, fill the crochet puff filling with acrylic blanket or other material of your choice. Remember: it is essential that the crochet puff is comfortable.
