Start by sewing a small flap over one end (see first picture).  This will serve as a pocket for inserting and removing the pencil later.  You can use a sewing machine, but it only took about 5 minutes by hand, so I recommend getting out your mini sewing kit and giving it a try.

Next, (see second picture) cut the rectangular section of anti-static sock material to be slightly shorter than the pencil's length.  Then stretch the sock to so that it cover the pencil's entire length and hook it on the pencil's tip (this makes sewing it easier since the material is stretchy).

Finally (see third picture) sew up the rest of the sock alongside the pencil, leaving a gap between the two sewn sections so you can easily take the pencil out.
