Chain one stitch.

Continue this pattern around the entire circle and join the last single crochet and the first single crochet with a slipstitch.

Cut off the nylon thread to leave a 4-inch tail. Pull the tail all the way through the remaining loop on the crochet hook and make it tight to secure the tail. Thread the tail through the yarn needle and bury the tail of thread into the finished stitches. Cut off the excess thread to finish.

Tips & Warnings
Although you could also use cotton crochet thread or sport-weight yarn to make this pouf, using the nylon crochet thread makes a pouf that resembles the poufs you can purchase ready-made.
