hey crafters it's time for another tutorial Tuesday so it's that time of
year again you know when summer is ending I gather pool and back into
school so I just start classes tomorrow so I thought it would be good if we did
a crochet project that was school themed so we're going to making this cute
little pencil isn't it adorable and this project just used a single crochet and a
single crochet decrease stitch so the stitches themselves aren't too hard
what's also nice is it's easy to customize this guy because you can just
like changing the number of rows you do you can make them longer or shorter but
it's just a front project you know if you want to like send it with your kid
you know they could have a reminder of you know their family well the right
schools they'll feel down about starting back to school plus it's really adorable
I think so let's get into the tutorial the materials I'm going to be using
today as far as yarn goes I'm using four different colors all red heart Super
Saver yarn the colors I chose to do are black this is oatmeal for like the
pencil part there I did shocking pink for the eraser and then for the body of
the pencil I chose gold but you can obviously customize these colors to be
whatever colors you want I'm just showing you the colors that I use today
and then secondly I'm using if a size H hook this hook is by boy I really like
this hook it's a nice tapered hook and normally with red heart I tend to use
larger size hooks but because we're going to be stuffing this and we don't
want any of the stuffing to come out I'm going to be using the smaller hook that
I normally would so that when my stitches are a little bit tighter and
then we're going to need some kind of stuffing when I stuff my projects I
usually use yarn scraps because I save them and then you'll need things like
scissors tapestry needle but we'll get to all those in a little bit so we start
from the end with the eraser so we're going to start in our eraser color I'm
using the shocking pink and I'm personally not a big fan of the Magic
Circle and I find that lots of people have a hard time with it
so instead we're going to be moot using a different method that's some of the
basic method to start working in the round and we're just going to start by
making a slip knot and then chain three
and then once I have my chain three I'm going to work a slip stitch into the
very first chain that I worked and that's going to create this nice little
circle here I'll put a video link up on this side and you can watch it to learn
how to work in the round if you're not familiar with it once I've got my ring
made I'm going to chain one and then work 10 single crochet into the space
here and because I'm not using a Magic Circle
I'm going to work around this tail end so that way I can pull it tight when I
get all the way around so I'm just going to start by working ten single crochet
you may find that stitch counters will help you so if you stitch kind of put a
stitch kind of in your first stitch if you have a hard time keeping track of
which stitches which
okay so you can see what I've done here I've worked ten single crochet into the
ring and for my next round before I join it I'm going to join only in the back
loop so let me show you what I mean I'm going to count back ten stitches to
find my first stitch or if use a stitch counter you'll know which one is your
first but I'm just going to count so one two three four five six seven eight nine
ten so this is my very first stitch and normally I would insert my hook here and
do a slip stitch underneath both loops but because the next round is going to
be worked in the back loops only I'm going to insert my hook in the back loop
into a slip stitch in just the back loop to join the round and that's going to
help the next row look more even and also at this point if you want you can
grab this tail here that we worked around and you can cinch it up to pull
your base tight and that will just help tighten your first round so the next
round we're going to start with one chain and then I'm going to work ten
single crochet all the way around and I'm going to work in just a back loop so
I'm going to work one single crochet in this very first spot where I have the
slip stitch where I worked my join and then in my second one in the back loop
of the second stitch and I'm going to do one single crochet in the back loop of
the single crochet from the previous row until I have ten
so now I've worked in around you can see it's kind of gaping here that's my fault
because I work that stitch a little bit loose hopefully yours won't look like
that but you might notice because we worked ten stitches here and we work ten
stitches this round it might be starting to fold back on you like this and this
is what we want to do kind of fold it back around and now you want to join
this round now normally if we were going to keep working in this color we would
just insert the hook here and do a slip stitch and that would be our joint
however because we're changing color we're actually going to work our slip
stitch in our second color so because I'm changing color I'm going to cut a
tail leave it long enough so I can still work with it and move my shocking pink
color out of the way and then because I'm using gold for the body I'm going to
get my gold color out so get whatever your second color is and start by making
a slip knot in that yarn I'm going to size this down to be about the size that
a loop on my hook will be and now I'm going to come over here and act as if
I'm going to join with the pink so I'm going to find the first stitch of this
round and I'm going to insert my hook underneath both loops of that single
crochet now normally I would grab this end here pull through into a slip stitch
but instead I'm going to do the slip stitch with this slip knot so I'm going
to put the slip knot on my hook and pull it through everything that's on my hook
and if you come to the back here I'm going to take this tail end of the slip
knot in the new color and then this loose end of the pink color and I'm
going to pull the pink a little bit snug so that way my join is nice and tight
and I'm just going to tie a couple notes right here
the nice thing with this project is because we are going to stuff it all
these tail ends you don't have to bother out weaving them in they can just kind
of stay inside the project so now I've changed to my new color and with the
yellow working on the body of the pencil is pretty simple
we're just going to work ten single crochet around work one single crochet
in each stitch we'll start each round with a chain and then single crochet in
the same spot that you work the slip stitch and go in each spot around until
you have ten single crochet in your new color
so now that I've done my tenth stitch I'm going to find the top of the first
stitch this is my first stitch here I'm going to insert the hook underneath the
two loops and I'm going to work a slip stitch to join and you want to be
careful if you don't tighten this loop here enough you're going to end up
getting some gapping as you work around so you may after you do your slip stitch
if it's still loose you may want to come back to here pull this guy really nice
and tight before you work the slip stitch and now I just hope snug up your
work so that way when it's completed you don't have any of your stuffing peeking
through the seen here okay so I've worked my first round of my
body color as the pencil which is then working in the gold and I'm going to
repeat that same process for five more rows for five more rounds until I have a
total of six rows of the gold color just remember start with a chain work 10
single crochet evenly around so that means just put one single crochet in
each stitch of the previouse round and then when you get to the end to join
it you just do a slip stitch in the very first stitch of that round and then you
chain one single crochet around and just keep doing this until you have a total
of six rows and of course pause the video if you need to and if you're
confused at any point in this tutorial comment below and I will do my best to
answer your questions so I'm going to finish this part right now and you go
ahead and finish yours and then we'll come back once we're done with the
gold-coloured alright so I worked a total of six rows in the gold color and
I forgot to mention this so maybe you did this you might have already joined
your last row if you did that's okay just go ahead and undo it undo the join
so that way you're in the last stitch of that row because you want to do the
joins with the new color cuz it's time to change color again woohoo so now
we're going to go to our nice oatmeal color and we're going to do this change
color the same way we did last time so you don't remember we're going to start
by making a slip knot in the new color just like that nice and cute and then
we're going to trim the gold color off leaving just a little bit of a tail
snip there and it's going to look something
kind of like this so we're going to size this new color the Slipknot we're going
to size tip out the sides of the hook take it off the hook though you don't
want to under yet and we're going to inspect the hook right in the top of the
first stitch from our row and then we're going to grab this nice new color stick
it on the hook just like that and pull it through everything and there we go
now I've changed color but it'll be nice seamless color change you won't really
notice it and we want to make sure we keep this yellow guy pulled tight enough
who don't want it unraveling and just ensure it doesn't unravel we're going to
tie a knot right here sorry my hook keeps rubbing against the table as I do
this just cinch it up like I said it's really nice because all these tails and
knots and things you don't have to worry about weaving them and just tuck them
down inside there and also I'll also mention also I'll also mention I can't
talk today guys I'll also mention that we're going to need to stuff it soon and
that can be a little tricky but we're going to do one more round before we
stuff it so for our first round in the oatmeal color we want to start coming
narrower because we're now the top of the pen so that would be like the wood
part you know that gets sharpened so we're going to decrease a couple times
in this round so we're going to start by chaining one and we're going to work a
single crochet in our first stitch remember we always worked a single
crochet in the same spot as the join and then in our next two spots we're going
to work a single crochet decrease so you insert the hook in the first one yarn
over our pull through one insert the hook in the next stitch also I'll put a
link right up here so you can find out how to do this if you're not familiar
with this I'm going to go through it kind of fast
but go watch that video if you're not sure how to do a decrease in single
crochet so we're here we've got it in the second spot we're going to yarn over
pull through one so now I've got a loop coming through each of those stitches
and I've got the first loop on our hook and then yarn over and pull through
everything and that works our first single crochet decrease then in the next
three spots we're just going to work one single crochet
and then in our next two spots are going to work another decrease so insert the
hook also I mention when you work the decreases sometimes I end up you can see
here how it's kind of pulled and stretched out it's important that you
don't even pulled and stretched out like that especially when you're working the
decreases because then you get gaps as you can see this guy here it is a little
bit of gapping that you can kind of see the stuffing inside so to avoid that you
want to make sure when you get done with the stitch you pull lift tight so going
to incite the hook yarn over pull through one and took the hook on the
next spot you're over pull through one yarn over and pull through everything on
the hook to the work our decrease then we're going to work a single crochet in
the last two spots of the round one two and then join with a slip stitch in the
top of our first stitch from the round and this is going to start to make it
taper in and this is also where I'm going to stuff my project so if you want
you can use actual like stuffing stuff actual like stuffing stuffing stuff that
makes any sense I don't know what I'm saying
I personally I have some stuff and I sometimes use that but I always save all
my yarn scraps I have this nice ugly bag that I made out of a rectangular granny
square attempt so I've had all kinds of scraps and things in here so I'm just
going to pull some of these out and stuff it with this you can always use
regular stuffing if you want so I'm going to stuff this and because we
haven't finished the pencil I'll show you this here when we stuff with a lot
of stuff it really densely because I want to saw some stuffing I can kind of
fluff up and fill in the tip so it might get a little bit feel work right now
because this is going to be really full so just stuff it pretty tight keep
stuffing but like I said stuff the bottom part really full so that way then
because we're going to crochet that tip part or we want to have enough stuffing
in there so that I can come fill in the tip so it might get a little bulgy
looking a little misshapen and that's okay you kind of want it to be like that
so you can see I've got it stuff so full that it's kind of peeking through that's
because I want to once we do the top I'll kind of able to
squish the stuffing around and squish some of the stuffing into the top and
then it won't be stretched so much so once you've got it stuffed full remember
you wanna make sure you have enough in there so it can come fill at the tip
it's time to finish up our nice pencil so if you look at the top down you
should have one two three four five six seven eight
stitches that you have to work in so on this next round we're going to start by
chaining one and then work a single crochet in each of the next spots each
of the next two spots sorry that wasn't clear guys so I chained work to single
crochet here worked a single crochet here now in the next two spots I'm going
to work a single crochet decrease single crochet once in each of the next two
spots two and then work a single crochet decrease and again at this point if it
helps you use stitch counters they can really see the day I'm a little rebel
I could take relax I don't like stick risk just kidding
but with crochet I usually don't use stitch counters just because I don't so
if you need to look at the top you should have six stitches so one two
three four five six this is my first stitch of the round
right here and it's time to change to the black color so again I'm not going
to work my join yet I'm going to work my joint with the black so cut this tail
end that off to the side I'm also going to move this up low a little bit and get
the black yarn or if you want to use grey for the pencil tip you can I just
chose to use black because that's what I had to find my end here this skein is an
absolute mess so like not like we've done the last several times start with a
slipknot size it down to be about the size of what the hook is come to your
project you remember to keep this and pulled tight you don't want this getting
really loose your joins going to be loose so keep it pulled tight I'm going
to come right on the top here and I'm going to put the Slipknot on
here and I'm going to pull the Slipknot through everything on my hook pull this
guy tight again apply my two tailings together once more I'm going to stuff
those tailings down into the pencil this is why we step to the last round instead
of this room because it gets larger this stuff as we get narrower and now we are
on our final round so we're just going to chain one and then we're going to
work decrease single crochet all the way around so insert my hook here pull
through one and set my hook here in the second stitch pull through one and then
pull through everything work another decrease single crochet in the next two
spots and then the last two spots work a final single crochet decrease I'm kind
of catching the stuffing that's in here trying to be careful with that and now
I'm going to look and what's on the top or from the side you can find your first
stitch from the round and I'm going to come into the top of it it's kind of
hard to see in the black I know just kind of catch the beginning of that
round on your hook and then work a slip stitch and then now that I have done
with all my stitching to fasten off I'm going to pull a nice big loop through
cut the loop pull this end out and tighten this guy and all kind of close
it off I'm going to take a nice tapestry needle and I'm going to run the tail end
so you can see the tail end you can kind of see the three stitches here one two
three I'm going to kind of run my needle through the top part here and I'm going
to catch the yarn
I'm going to pull the store and what this is going to do is it's going to
kind of tighten off that end make it more of a tip and it'll also help fasten
the end off so once I've got that barrel I'll have kind of shape it into a tip
however you want you can read through more if you want to to change how it
looks I think I'm happy with this look so I'm
just going to come down right here and I'm going to pull my yarn through then
I'm going to leave a loop here so push down through this nice loop see fit a
line through there and basically this is doing is making a nice knot and then
what's more another great thing about working on a project that you're going
to be stuffing is instead of having to read this in I'm just going to run my
needle into the center of my project and another random spot I'm going to catch
this tail in here and I'm going to pull the tail right into my project and I
came out there so I'm going to step it back in there and if I wish it around to
work the stuffing up to the top and to the tip just kind of get a nice shape
and as I said the amount you stuff it and how tight or loose you do your
stitches will determine if you can see any of the stuffings there there and
that might be a reason why you want to use actual stuffing instead of yarn
scraps personally I don't really mind being able to see a little bit of extra
color from the stuffing inside I kind of like it and now you have a nice fun
back-to-school pencil another idea is if you want to use buttons to add eyes on
here that'd be kind of cute make a little friend for whoever in your life
is going back to school or even if it's just for you and you secretly want a
little pencil friend in your backpack you can easily make this into a keychain
if you were to loop a keychain to the top here put it on your backpack I'm
just in lots of different ways you can use this or even if you just want to
make it because it's so cute that's okay too and so there you go now you know how
to make a cute little crocheted pencil guy
I went ahead and added eyes and a face to this one but here you can see just a
pencil you know without anything on it like excited to be super cute to put a
keyring through here and clip it onto your backpack then you're really cute or
if you just want a little pencil guy hang around just a pencil just for
whatever reason now you know how to make one so I hope you guys like this
