This giant pencil is the perfect way to ring in the new school year! It's just the right size to cuddle with or lean up against while reading your favorite books. As a teacher myself, my giant pencil amigurumi is one of my favorite designs to date. I wish everyone a great new school year. Happy crocheting!

TIPS;

-Use stitch markers to keep track of the beginning of each round (especially important since this fuzzy chenille yarn can make it difficult to see!)
-Fluff up your stuffing by pulling it apart and inserting it little by little to make your amigurumi more even. Stuff it some more right before closing using the tips of your scissors for a firmer shape.
-Note that my jumbo patterns do not transfer to thinner yarn weights well. The dimensions will be off!
-Please note that when you cut this specific type of chenille yarn, experiencing some loose fibers is normal. If you would like, you can use a lighter to gently burn the yarn tails.
-If you are experiencing breakage when trying to pull your magic circle closed, create the starting ring with the alternative method of: ch 2, make 6 (or 8) sc into the second ch from the hook.
-If you are experiencing your flat circle becoming a cone shape, this means your tension is too tight. Size up a hook or loosen up.
