Pattern Overview
How to Crochet the Granny Square Crochet Ottoman Pattern
The granny square crochet ottoman is made up of multiple granny squares & a top and bottom that is crocheted separately.
In the end it’s all seamed together to create a beautiful crochet footstool.
To fill this crochet ottoman you have choices. The one pictured was filled with an old duvet that wasn’t used anymore, which made for quite a soft ottoman.
However, you can also fill it more, for a harder finish.
The whole idea is that you can find unused blankets, duvets ect. from around the house & re-purpose it. However you could also fill it with a large bean bag as well.
