It’s back to school season, a time for new starts. What better time to start teaching your child or grandchild to crochet? Get them hooked on hooks and yarn by whipping up this easy pencil pouch in their school colors!

This crochet pattern uses a double crochet, and I’ve included a photo tutorial to show you how to work that stitch. You’ll also change colors to create stripes. If you’ve never changed color before, no worries…another photo tutorial! Some easy around the edges of the ear warmer make a nice border, and there are several reference photos to help you follow the pattern.

The School Spirit Ear Warmer is a great way to start reading pattern or to teach the next generation how to crochet. It’s part of the School Spirit set of patterns, and for the month of August, it’s only $1! Get your copy now before the price goes up!
