I'm switching things up a little this week. In honor of my niece starting kindergarten, I'm going to post a few back to school crochet patterns. First though, I want to draw your attention to Craftsy's big August sale. All classes are on sale for up to 50% off, which is a great deal if you are eager to add some new crafting skills to your repertoire! I'm signed up for the Craftsy Fair Isle crochet course (review forthcoming), and while I haven't had much time to work on it, I'm really enjoying the class so far. Since I have been so busy lately I really love that I can watch the class videos any time and that I don't have to waste hours scouring the internet for tutorials. Also, Craftsy doesn't just have knitting and crochet classes, they have classes in almost any type of craft you would want to learn. Just a few of the many options are cake decorating, woodworking, and photography. They even have some cooking classes! This sale only runs from today (8/7/14) to Monday (8/11/14) so hurry if you want to take advantage of these great prices! 
Now, here are my free back-to-school crochet patterns. These three are throw sized graphghan patterns with a school theme. All three are available for download on the stitchboard.com free pattern store and are meant to be finished with a border of your choice. Any of these would make a great present for a teacher, librarian, or bus driver.

A few notes about the school bus pattern: The red rectangles should be all red so make the random black spaces red. I would use a light gray or aran color for the window, grill, and bumper, with a dark gray or black for the seats, tires, and lines.
As usual, I provide these graphs free of charge because it's something I like to do. Please do not disrespect me and the work I put into producing these by copying and selling them as your own. Also, please, please, please, share my blog and this post in particular if you enjoyed reading it/found it to be useful. Thanks, and happy crafting!
