The Yarn
To make this crochet ottoman I decided to use the amazing Wool Ease yarn from Lion Brand Yarn, a 4 medium yarn. You could also try using thicker yarn like bulky or super bulky yarn for a different finish.
It’s for sure become my favorite and these are some other patterns that uses this yarn: Your Afternoon Walk Cardigan, Your Sunrise Socks, Spikes and Stripes Pillow, Cold Day Cowl & Granny Square Bag.
So if you haven’t tried Wool Ease before, isn’t this great proof that I really LOVE this yarn?

A FUN GRANNY SQUARE CROCHET 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.

How Long Does It Take To Crochet That?
How long it takes to crochet something varies depending on your skill & how fast you crochet. But that isn’t a helpful answer is it?
Well, I’ve developed a yarn calculator to help you get the answer to this question.
It will help you calculate exactly how much time you’ll spend crocheting a project.
All you need to know is how much yarn you will use on the project in either meters, yards or skeins. Then crochet your test square & time it.
Calculate how long it takes to crochet that.
