Crochet Pencil Holder

Crochet Pencil Holder!

I created this with knitpal yarn. Go to the Knitpal site for more information on this yarn, https://knitpal.com/collections/yarn This pencil holder is great for pencils and crochet hooks. I used an H hook. To make it smaller use a smaller hook, but try to follow along with this pattern. If you need more assistance please watch the video uploaded below. Measures about 3 inches across on the bottom and 4.5 inches in height, and 12 inches around. This crochet pencil holder is perfect for all your pencils and pens.
