61 Back to School Projects | Knit and Crochet Patterns
It’s back to school time! Maybe it starts this week for you or perhaps not for another month. Perhaps you’re learning from home or in a school building or as some hybrid. Whether you have school-age children, are taking courses yourself, or are a teacher, the start of the new school year is probably on your mind! And therefore so are back to school projects!
When school starts there are a ton of supplies you need to get: crayons, glue, scissors, pencils, pens, paper, notebooks, textbooks, calculators, laptops, tablets. Honestly, the list goes on and on! Plus, as cooler weather approaches, we need new wardrobes. Those make great back to school projects for knitters and crocheters, too!
Personalize you or your child’s supplies with this collection of free patterns from Yarnspirations. There are more than five dozen back to school projects here. And they are perfectly designed to supply everything needed to head back to the classroom.

Marley, I want to make everything in this email! How do you choose?! Every pattern is so cute! And I don’t have any children!
An idea for a vid might be to talk about how you go about choosing a pattern from so many (who, what, why, size, etc.).
Another vid – how do you divide your time when you’re working on a project that you know will take months
– do other projects to take a break or go whole-hog on the blanket, shawl, afghan, etc.
Love love love your emails!
