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 half double crochet, and I’ve included a photo tutorial to show you how to work that stitch. You’ll also change colors to create wide stripes. If you’ve never changed color before, no worries…another photo tutorial! Some easy slip stitching around the edge of the flap creates a buttonhole, and there are several reference photos to help you follow the pattern.

The School Spirit Pencil Pouch 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!
