A pencil for the teacher

IMG_5649

This pencil scarf was really easy to make. It makes a perfect gift for a teacher, writer, artist, or pretty much anybody who uses a pencil. When finished, it measure about 6.5 feet long, so it’s great for wrapping around your neck to keep warm.

If you want a pattern that you can save on your computer and easily print, this pattern is available in my Ravelry shop for only $2.00. I love printing patterns and saving them in a binder to keep track of the ones I’ve done and the ones I still plan to do.

ch: chain

sc: single crochet
