Notes: Pencil Pattern:
♥ “The Magic Circle” is used to start the project. If Using pink yarn,
you do not prefer this technique, you can start Round 1: Magic Circle with a base of 6 stitches
each piece using the following technique: ch 2, Round 2: inc x6= 12 sts
then sc x6 into the second chain away from the Round 3: (1 inc, sc in next st) x6 = 18 sts
hook. Sl st to join the round. This creates Round 4: (1 inc, sc in next 2 sts) x6 = 24 sts
Round 1. Round 5: sc into BLO of the next 24 sts = 24 sts

~ Want fancier pencils? Maybe try different colors of sts apart.
