Giant Amigurumi Pencil · Free Amigurumi Pattern

If you’re looking for a jumbo, eye-catching, and incredibly squishy crochet project, my Giant Amigurumi Pencil pattern is here to brighten your hooks and your home! This oversized plush pencil is a free PDF download (scroll down for the link!), completely no-sew, and works up pretty fast using super bulky chenille yarn and a large crochet hook.

Perfect for decorating a child’s room, staging adorable back-to-school photoshoots, gifting to teachers, or simply hugging as a long, cozy pillow—this giant pencil is as fun to make as it is to enjoy!


✨ Why You’ll Love This Giant Pencil

Crocheting everyday objects in amigurumi form is always delightful, but turning them into giant plush companions? Even better! With its velvety softness and bold size, this pencil instantly becomes an attention-grabber.

Here’s what makes this project extra special:

  • No sewing required — the entire pencil is crafted continuously.

  • Super soft & snuggly thanks to plush chenille yarn (Weight 6).

  • A quick make despite its size, thanks to chunky yarn and simple stitches.

  • Completely customizable — just add rows to make it longer or shorter.

  • Kid-friendly and teacher-approved as a silly, sweet, and memorable gift.


📏 Finished Size

The pattern is designed as one size, but is easily adjustable in length.
If you follow my pattern, your finished pencil will measure apprpoximately:

  • Length: ~25 inches

  • Width: ~7 inches across

It’s big enough to use as a statement pillow, prop, or room accent—without being too cumbersome to handle.


🧶 Pattern Information

The Giant Amigurumi Pencil is crocheted entirely in the round using plush super bulky weight 6 chenille yarn. This gives it its signature velvety softness and irresistibly huggable feel.

You’ll love making this pencil if you enjoy:

  • Chunky amigurumi

  • Plush yarn projects

  • Fast, low-fuss patterns

  • Whimsical, oversized crochet decor

Because the design is no-sew, the transitions between the pencil tip, wood, body, and eraser flow seamlessly as you crochet. It’s simple, relaxing, and perfect for beginners and seasoned amigurumi lovers alike.

  • Teacher Appreciation Week

  • Back-to-school surprises

  • Classroom decor

  • Kids' bedroom reading corners
