Monster Pencil Case - Crochet Pattern

Summer is just going by way too fast, so I have been thinking about the things I have to do to get ready for the new school year. I am a planner, what can I say? Sometimes being a planner is a good thing, sometimes it's not. I think in this case is good. :)

I have already finished purchasing all the school supplies and the clothes for my kids, I also came up with this "monster pencil case" idea because the pencil cases I saw at the store were just... "blah"!

This is a quick pattern, fun to make. I am thinking about attaching a little hand sanitizer to one of the ears. Wouldn't that be cute? Or you could make a little coin purse or add charms or a key chain?

The pattern is available in my ravelry store and on craftsy, too.

Cheers!
