Ready or not, back to school season is here! Whether you’re sending a kid of to school, getting ready to set up your classroom, or just love the rush of a well-stocked school supply section, we have all the things to celebrate.
Kick off the season with Just Write Gnome, the sharpest Pom Pom Gnome we know. This knitted gnome is just waiting to sit on your favorite student or teacher's desk. Work it up in a saffron colorway to make a traditional No. 2 pencil or pick a rainbow palette and knit some just right colored pencils.
Download the free pattern, which includes instructions to knit the pencil hat and legs, make a pom pom, and assemble the finished project. And don't forget to pick up some Wooden Gnome Noses to complete the look.
But why stop there? Add to the back-to-school cuteness with another free pattern: our Love Notes Envelope. This simple-to-knit envelope is the perfect size to hold a small note and slip into a lunch box.
It just so happens that this pint size pocket also holds candy and other treats well. In fact, it's a highlight of our interns' day for this reason alone.
However you choose to celebrate back-to-school - with sharpened pencils or by passing notes - we're here to help you celebrate in true knitter fashion.
