Free Back To School Crochet Pattern Ideas
This is a compilation of back-to-school crochet patterns to make for when kids return to classrooms! They are great practical makes for school kids.
My mum taught me to crochet when I was a little girl. I was around 8-9 years old. Armed with a hook and a small ball of bright yellow yarn, I set out to make my first project.
After practicing the basic stitches, I made a cute small pencil case!
I remember it quite vividly. It was of course a little wonky, made in single crochet stitches, and had a large pink button that was sewn on a bit off to the side…
However, I absolutely loved it and it kept all my pens safe.
It is still the school holidays as I write this. However, we all know how fast time flies and before we know it, it will be time to go back to school.
I have two boys at home, my older one starts junior school in September and I can not believe it.
Making small gifts for school kids adds a special touch to their day. It is always a nice feeling when they have something with them to remind them how much we love them and that we are thinking about them.
If your little (or big) one is a little anxious about going back to school I have also put together 5 Cute Free Crochet Worry Worms Pattern Ideas. These are great quick makes to help them with big feelings.
I have found some great back-to-school crochet patterns for you, so you can get straight to making rather than searching online for the perfect pattern.
