Handmade Gifts For Teachers - A Free Crochet Pattern Round Up!
/My dear friend Stephanie has been teaching her little humans to crochet. I have loved watching them learn and show interest. My heart nearly exploded when her eldest completed his first project and it was one of MY designs. Truly overflowing with love.
He has since gone on to a bigger undertaking: hand making his holiday gift for his teacher! Crocheting a scarf is no easy undertaking for anyone but he is well on his way. It is such a joy to see him gaining this skill, and improving his craft. His tension and gauge is steadying and he is well on his way to completing this masterpiece. My bestie even got him personalized handmade wood tags to add to his gift creations.
This got me thinking - what great teacher gifting could our community make with their littles? So here is a collection of patterns that are not only great teacher gifts but great for you to make together with your next generation of crocheter.
I am loving this fun creative free bracelet pattern from Wilmade. It is a great project for you and your favorite small human to create together for the favorite teacher. In fact, it is also a fun gift to save for other gifting holidays too!
The Lakeside Chunky Free Hat Pattern is such a quick make and you and your little can make it in so many colors for all the teachers they love! This is truly one of my most popular patterns and works up like a charm.
I am such a fan of this beginner friendly infinity scarf from the Underground Crafter. She has created a pattern that is great for you and your new crocheter to make and a perfect gift for any teacher. Using chunky yarn and a big hook, your little will learn to create stitches with ease and have a finished piece to be proud of.
For the fellas (or anyone of course) is this beginner friendly Still Waters Scarf pattern from Stitches N’ Scraps. Have fun with your small stitcher while yarn shopping and find a great variegated yarn that does the work for you creating this beauty!
This Chunky Ear warmer free crochet pattern works up fast and by using chunky yarn and a pig hook, your new little crocheter will fly through the making. This is especially great for teachers in those cold cities like here in Chicago.

For that super active teacher, here is a fabulous water bottle cozy free pattern from Crystalized Designs that you and your little can make together. If you have multiple little humans with multiple teachers you can even make the whole box of crayon colors for all the teachers!
This adorable snowman ornament from Oombawka Design Crochet is such a fabulous treat to make and give any teacher. They can hang it at home, in the classroom or keep it on their desk all through the season. Have some fun with your new crocheter and make a whole snow people family!
And last but not least - don’t we all love the magic of Santa and a warm cup of coffee? Well this pattern for a Santa Cup Cozy from Tw-in Stitches will help you and your little stitcher create something special for their favorite teacher.
