These crochet gifts for teachers are the perfect way to show your appreciation! Each pattern is quick and easy to work up, and perfect for using up some of that leftover yarn 🙂

As the daughter of a teacher, we had more ‘World’s Best Teacher’ mugs in our house than the average family.
She definitely appreciated the sentiment but I’m sure that after the first few mugs my mum would have loved something a bit different! (She also got lots of chocolates at Christmas time – surprisingly, we never complained about those).
