The Crayons on Strike Roll is the third pattern in the Storytime Knits Collection. This crayon cozy features 8 pockets for individual crayons (large crayons fit too!) with a flap and an icord to keep all of the crayons snug as a bug in a rug. This design was inspired by and directly complements the children’s book, The Day the Crayons Quit by Drew Daywalt and Oliver Jeffers.
