Tips for the Best Result

Crochet tightly so the stuffing does not show between the stitches. Add the stuffing gradually as you work, especially along the long bodies of the pencils, so they remain even and hold their shape.

When changing colors, complete the final step of the previous stitch with the new color. This will create a cleaner transition. Before closing the tip, carefully shape the stuffing with your fingers.
