The Scalloped Edge Pencil Pouch is just the right crochet project to welcome the start of a new school year, no matter what age you are. From kindergarten to grad school, it's always important to keep from spilling writing utensils every time you have to take notes or do some journaling. The quick and easy design makes these pouches the perfect beginner crochet pattern, while the scallops and button loop make this crochet pouch pattern fashionable. These are so cute, however, that they could also work as a DIY clutch, as they are just the right size to stash a few necessities and go.

With school time quickly approaching, I got to thinking about making something functional for kids to use. So, here's my free pattern for a cute, quick and easy project - a Fox Pencil Case. I used worsted weight yarn and a 4mm hook. You could easily change the yarn color to make this a Wolf Pencil Case. Of course if you don't have any school age children, this pattern could easily be used as a Crochet Hook Case, a Toothbrush Case or a Glasses/Phone Case. Hope you enjoy this freebie.

Any teacher or student will dote over this Apple Crochet Pencil Case. It is an adorable crochet back to school gift and will be appreciated by whomever is the chosen recipient. The apple is great for back to school, but you can try other designs with this tutorial like a watermelon, a lemon, a half moon, and even a rainbow! This versatile free crochet pattern can be changed to match the taste of anyone you know as it can be used for writing utensils, makeup, or a catch-all bag.

This is a very cute back to school project your child will feel proud to take to school. The case is made using cotton worsted weight yarn and a zipper. Pictures are included to show you how to add the zipper.

The Moogly uppercase, lowercase, numbers, the Greek alphabet, and punctuation have been a big hit, so the next step you asked for was currency symbols! The dollar sign was already available, but of course there are other major currencies out there, so I picked the top 3 (and included the dollar sign instructions here for your convenience!). These are excellent appliques, and great in classrooms too. I hope you enjoy the Moogly Crochet Currency Set!"
