Pia Pencil Case is a beautiful, elegant and very decorative hiding place for your drawing supplies, make-up brushes, crochet hooks, etc.

Pia Pencil Case begins with Judy’s Magic Cast-On and is then worked in the round in broken rib. It is finished off with the prettiest crocheted scalloped edge at the top. The zipper and lining are sewn in at the end.

This pattern has been professionally tech edited by Kimberly Wilkerson, and has been test knitted by a large number of test knitters around the world.
