This quick amigurumi can also be adapted into an adorable bag charm or keychain. The crochet pencil is worked in continuous rounds with the face and stuffing added before completion. The only needle work is the mouth and weaving in the tails.

The finished project measures approximately 4" tall. You could easily make a larger pencil by increasing your yarn and hook sizes.
