EN Crochet Square Pouf Cover SOPHIA the PIG

 

Hello, I present to you "Sophia the Pig" - a crochet cover for a square pouf (gift for my daughter for her 3rd birthday - still waiting to be given ;))
The pouffe is decorated with three tulle flowers.
The project is not complicated, and I explain everything step by step in the tutorial on YouTube. With a bit of your own modifications, you can create a pouf of a dog, cat or rabbit (and even a character from Minecraft).
I will be glad if you look at my channel, subscribe and leave a comment.


P.S. Thanks to my daughter, I got used to the color pink :)
Who loves pigs as much as we do? :)Tutorial step by step is on YouTube (EN subtitles):
