Messmerland Knitting Pattern ©2006
Alex's Pencil Cover
Skills Needed: Cast On, Knit, and Cast Off.
Materials:
Size 10.5 knitting needles, small amount of worsted-weight yarn, and a sewing needle for yarn.
Directions:
Cast on 26 stitches.
Knit every row for 8 rows. (This will make 4 ridges in the garter stitch.)
Cast off, leaving a tail of yarn about 20 inches long.
Finishing:
Thread the sewing needle with the tail of yarn and sew the long sides of the rectangle you made together. Hide the remaining end of yarn by running it under a few stitches so it will not unravel. Cut the end.
Slide a pencil inside the the knitted tube you made.
