It’s a giant pencil and it’s a place to hold real pencils. My kids love this and like to pretend writing with it. The pencil case would also make a great “retro” gift for a geeky friend, it could also store computer cables, styluses or batteries.

This is knit in the round and a slip-stitch pattern makes the vertical lines. A lining of paper makes the case more sturdy and three dimensional.

This individual pattern can be purchased through Ravelry or as a part of my ebook, Handwork for the Holidays.
