Crochet Plush Pencils

August 17, 2017

When I get my hands on a yarn I like there is no stopping me! My latest obsession is Bernat Blanket Yarn. I just finished up a Unicorn Snuggle Sack and a Pumpkin Pouf and with all the leftover yarn laying around, I decided to come up with a quick and easy project for the back-to-school crowd: Crochet Plush Pencils! These seriously work up so quickly and my kids love them! They will be giving them to their teachers on the first day of school. My hope is that when we find out who their teachers are, I will stitch the teachers names on the side. If and when I do that I will make a follow-up post about stitching on letters.

Materials:
–Bernat Blanket Yarn in Black, Vintage White, School Bus Yellow, Dark Grey, and Pixie Pink. Shop all these colors at Yarnspirations.com. You can make many pencils from one skein of each! I made 3 and still have plenty of yarn leftover.
– Size K crochet hook
– Poly-fil fiber stuffing
– Tapestry Needle

Finished Size: 14 inches long x 3.5 inches wide

Note: Pencil is worked from the eraser up. You will need to stuff and weave in your loose ends as you go!

Crochet Pencil Pattern:
Starting with pink yarn
Magic ring, chain 1 and make 10 SC in ring, join to first SC, chain 1
Round 2: 2 SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 3: In back loops only, SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
work in both loops for rest of project
Round 4-5: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Change to gray yarn
Round 6-7: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
You will want to start weaving in your loose ends on the inside
Change to Yellow Yarn
Round 8-22: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Start stuffing with poly-fil fiber stuffing
Change to off-white yarn
Round 23-24: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (20 SC)
Round 25: SC Decrease, SC in next 3, repeat around, join, chain 1 (16 SC)
Round 26: SC Decrease, SC in next 2, repeat around, join, chain 1 (12 SC)
Change to black yarn
Don’t forget to keep stuffing as you go! And weave in ends as you go!
Round 27: SC in each stitch around, join, chain 1 (12 SC)
Round 28: SC Decrease, SC in next, repeat around, join, chain 2 (8 SC)
Round 29: SC in each stitch around, fasten off
Stuff the last bit with poly-fil. Take your tapestry needle and sew the top closed.
Weave in ends.
Have a great school year!

    I love your pattern. I have one my Mom made for my son 20yrs ago. But this one is about 5ft long. Bigger than a body pillow. My son still uses it on his bed!

    I am a school bus driver and am making these for my elementary kids for next school year. I made several using a SC and they turned out under 8 inches long. So I switched to a HDC and they are perfect!! Thank you so very much for this wonderful pattern!!

      Thank you! Thank you!! I was struggling with the SC and size. I even went up a hook size and it was still really small. My SC doesn’t look like the picture either.

    I agree that Plush Crochet Pencils are a fun way to make a unique gift. These come together in a flash, and my kids adore them. On the first day of school, they will hand them in to their instructors. I’m hoping to embroider the instructors’ names on the side after we figure out who their teachers are. I’ll publish a follow-up post on stitching on letters if and when I accomplish that. https://customessayorder.com/write-essays-for-money/write-law-essays-for-money

    The text is a single semantic whole. This means that all its parts must be connected to each other. Reread the draft https://en.writingapaper.net/ at least twice. Thought doesn’t jump around, everything is easy to grasp? Is the theme and main idea revealed? Consequently, you have written the text well.
