Happy Friday friends! I hope your week was great! I'm not sure if I mentioned it last week but...every Friday for the entire month of August I will be sharing a new, free, back to school theme crochet pattern. Last weeks pattern was the Crayon Cuddler crochet pattern. Great to use as a pillow, toy or even classroom decor. This weeks back to school theme pattern is the Crayon Jar Cozy pattern! You could whip up a couple of these and give them to your kiddos teachers as back to school gifts! All you have to do is fill the jar with pens, pencils or colored pencils! I'm sure any teacher would love to receive one! Now onto the pattern!
