The school holidays are coming to a close, parents everywhere will be taking on the dreaded back to school shopping and children are enjoying their final days of freedom. This week we've got some projects that will make everyone jealous of your little ones.

1. These little monster pencil cases by Crochet Dreamz are perfect for your little... angels. The fun, friendly design is easy to make over the weekend and is sure to catch the eye of everyone in the class!

2. It's not just the kids going back to work, but teachers too. This pencil coaster design from Yarn Pixie is a perfect gift for helping ease your friends back in to work life.

3. School diaries aren't always the prettiest of things, so why not try making one of these simple covers by Red Berry Crochet to give it a bit of pop of colour.

4. If your little ones are a bit too little to be going off to school, but don't want to be left out then this is the perfect set for you. This back to school set is great for playtime and will guarantee you a quiet few hours during the day.

5. Teenagers don't think anything's cool, let alone crochet - but we guarantee they'll be dying to get their hands on this trendy back pack by Frisian Knitting. We know we'll be hooking one on this weekend!
