Cardboard Crochet Pencil Holder – FREE Pattern

Crochet Thread Tube Pencil Holder
Crochet Thread Tube Pencil Holder

Here’s a cool project to help you use up those empty cardboard rolls from cotton crochet thread. The rolls come in two different sizes; the size 10 comes in a larger roll, and the size 3 is in a small roll. For this project I used the size 3 roll, which gives me a good height for pens as well as for my crochet hooks. In order to prevent the crochet hooks from sliding through, I placed a round piece of cardboard at the bottom.

I used a light weight yarn, however, I am sure that any type of yarn would work just as well.

It’s a little tedious working the yarn around the tube, but it’s worth it.

Hope you enjoy.

Material: 1 3×3 inch cardboard tube, light weight yarn.
Hook size: E 3.5mm.

Step 1

Insert the yarn through the cardboard tube, tie a knot and position the knot at the top of the tube.

Step 2

Insert hook between the tube and strand of yarn, yo and pull up a loop.

With your hand or another hook bring the long end of the yarn through to the bottom of the tube.

Step 4

Pick up this loop with your crochet hook, yo and pull through both loops. (1 sc made.)

Step 5

Continue with steps 3 and 4 all around the tube, pushing the finished stitches together so that the cardboard tube does not show. Join with sl st.
