These pencil covers are knitted flat from the bottom of the pencil upwards and the seam is then sewn around the pencil. The flower and bee features at the top of the pencil are done by increasing and then decreasing stitches and the petals and wings are then added on afterwards.

This issue is on sale from 25th June from supermarkets and newsagents across the UK and from the Knit Now website. It is also available digitally here.
