Pencil Amigurumi Pattern

Here is my little pencil amigurumi pattern I was talking about!  This pattern is cute for teacher gifts, or presents to your fellow author/drawer friends!

Materials:

Yarn: Bulky Weight yarn (I worked double stranded w/ a light worsted yarn) in colors:         yellow(pencil base), green (metal piece thingie), light brown (wood tip), and pink (eraser)

40 in circular knitting needles in size 3.25  (or dpns)

Yarn Needle

Black Felt



Skills Required: knitting, purling, working in the round, k2tog, picking up stitches, casting on


Pattern (beginning with yellow yarn)

CO 42 Stitches using magic loop or dpns.  Join in the round, and place marker.

Rounds 1-39: Knit all stitches

Round 40: Switch to light brown color.  Knit all sts

Round 41: K7, k2tog till last st, k1

Round 42-45: Knit all stitches

Round 47: K1 K2tog till last 2 stitches, k2

Round 48-50: Knit all stitches

Round 51: K2tog, k2tog, k2tog, k2tog, k1, k2tog, k2tog, k2tog, k2tog, k2tog, k1

BO all stitches.  Note:  There should be a teeny hole but do not close it up! :)

You may want to start stuffing...

PU stitches all around the rim where the YELLOW is, this is the edge where we casted on.  Pick these stitches up in GREEN.

Note: I am beginning to start a fresh count of rounds, beginning with "Round 1".

Round 1-5: Knit all stitches

Change to pink yarn.

Round 1-13: Knit all stitches

Round 14: k2tog all stitches.  PLEASE NOTE: You may have to adjust your stitch's positions on your needles.

Round 15: k2tog all stitches.  PLEASE NOTE: You may have to adjust stitch's positions on your needles.

Thread yarn through the remaining loops on your needles and fasten off.


Finishing: Finish stuffing and weave in ends.  Add black felt onto the light brown tip of your pencil amigurumi.  It doesn't have to be perfect, I will show you pics 1 post up.

Give this to someone special: teacher, friend, anybody who would appreciate a gigantic, plush, squeezable ticonderoga pencil!


Enjoy,
Emily
