Make a simple, charming pencil holder to keep pens and pencils neat while adding a cozy handmade touch to your desk. This quick DK yarn project uses basic knitting techniques and 4 mm needles, making it suitable for beginners who want a useful, decorative accessory or a small gift.

Materials:

• Small amount DK yarn
• Embellishment or motif (optional)
• 4 mm needles

Instructions:

1. Cast on 24 stitches.

2. Knit 6 rows in rib.

3. Next, knit 22 rows in garter stitch (every row knit).

4. Cast off. Sew the side seam, fold flat with the seam at the back, then sew the bottom seam to form the base.

Notes:

• Keep the seam at the back for a tidy front appearance.
• Adjust the number of cast-on stitches or rows if you want a wider or taller holder to fit different containers or tools.
