I am totally going to make one of these.
Go here for step-by-step instructions. If you can knit and purl, it actually looks incredibly easy. And even though it requires 18 skeins of super-fat yarn plus stuffing, it'll still cost a heck of a lot less than the $800-$1,600 Flocks Poufs at DWR.
There's a smaller version, too.
(From Norway's Pickles blog -- don't worry, the instructions are in English -- via Tikoli's Twitter, via Craft, via CasaSugar.)

I made one! It turned out great, and it's a simple and fun project. If you make one, I'd suggest knitting it in the round instead of on two needles. I think my pouf would have been nicer if it was seamless.
Thanks so much for the tip, Alana! I would absolutely do that, if only I knew how to knit in the round ... ;-)
YES!!!!! I was hoping someone would do a tutorial on one of these!
I saw a piece like this at my friend's place once. It may have been bigger though, as I remember someone sitting on top of a ball like this one.

I so need to learn how to knit.
Paula -- you totally should! I'm utterly hopeless at handicrafts, and even I managed to pick it up without too much trouble. I'm not really any good at knitting, but I find it really relaxing, and now my family has more hand-knitted scarves than they'll ever need ...
Wow! That's a project! I'd probably start, and end up with a floor mat!
Thanks for your nice post about our project!! Love your blog;)
This is darling and my hat is off to any of you who can accomplish this---very lovely---I used to crochet when I was little (my grandma taught me) but it has been years.
This makes me want to become a knitter! Quickly!
is that rug from Ikea ?
I knit, but SLOWLY, so I'd probably finish this in the year 2018.
I'm so glad I came across this today :D Your on my favorites list!
Thank you so much for posting this! I recently did a search for "woman knitting" and saw the person who make one, and a rug incidentally, but couldn't find any information about it (like fiber type) to do it myself. Luckily I'm a skilled enough knitter to have figured out that it was Garter stitched (the version I was looking at)...not to just find the right size fiber & needles...
