✨ 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.
