This is the perfect gift for a teacher you love. It’s easy, quick and cute.

The pencil is knit around a pipe cleaner to give it a bit of structure. The pencil is 6 stitches around, which is too many stitches for an i-cord and too few stitches to feel nice knitting in the round. Luckily it knits up easily and smoothly when divided over two needles and worked with a third.

Like all my patterns, this pencil is a fun stash buster pattern.
