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!
