Stubby Amigurumi Pattern

Meet Stubby! This amigurumi crochet pencil is a beginner friendly pattern and is pretty fun to be around. He is crocheted in the round with color changes worked in the back loop creating a more seamless color change.

Simply attach to a keyring and voile, you have a super cute keychain! Stubby will bring joy to your little ones face as they head back to school this fall and he makes a great teacher appreciation gift!
