I am still over here obsessing over Bernat Blanket Yarn! After I made the Plush Pencils, it got me thinking about CRAYONS! And with just a few tweaks to the pencil pattern, a whole set of Crayola Crochet Crayons were created! I even made a Crayola Box out of a yellow display board. The crayons work up super quickly and I used the leftover Bernat Blanket Brights yarn I had sitting around from my Unicorn Snuggle Sack. We will be donating this set of crochet crayons to Zoe’s preschool!

– Bernat Blanket Brights Yarn: Pixie Pink, Pow Purple, Busy Blue, Go-Go Green, School Bus Yellow, Carrot Orange, and Race Car Red. Shop all colors HERE at Yarnspirations.com. You will also need black!

– Poly-fil Fiber Stuffing

These look fantastic! I have never made it but next time I’m stressed I will:)
How many stiens of one color did you use to make one crayon?
Hi Sarah; Trying to make the purple crayon and wondering if you have any suggestions on how to see the stiches better using this thick dark yarn. Especially when the pattern says to stick in back row. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Gail
