Abbreviations

inc - Increase (2 stitches in the same stitch)
bl – Back loop
dsp – Deep spike stitch
A spike stitch is a stitch, which is crocheted through the stitches of one of the previous rows. To make a deep spike stitch, you go down two rows instead of one.
Instructions
Start by making 6 dc in a magic ring (6).
• inc x 6 (12)
• 1, inc x 6 (18)
• 2, inc x 6 (24)
• 3, inc x 6 (30)
Now, the bottom of the pencil holder is finished, and you can begin making the edges. Proceed by making a round of dc in the back loop (30).
Hereafter, you make 2 rounds of dc (30).
Once you have made the 2 rounds of dc, you begin the spiral pattern. You do this by making:
• 2 dc, 1 dsp x 10 + 1 dc (31)
Use the last dc to make a colour change. With each new colour you make two rounds:
• 1st round: dc (30)
• 2nd round: 2 dc, 1 dsp x 10 + 1 dc (31)
When you have used all 6 colours, you make a round with sl st (30)
Weave in all ends and your pencil holder is ready for use. You can also weave in the ends as you go.
