But someone who crochets for a hobby isn't a worthy adversary — Wednesday Addams

That's what she thinks when the truth is that more than half of us are actually crocheting to keep ourselves from choking people.

As we approach the end of the school year, it's time to start thinking about teacher appreciation gifts! I'm not a former teacher or anything, but I see the amount of effort and work teachers put in during the school year.

While there are many gift options to choose from, there's something special about handmade gifts that can truly express your gratitude. After all, they're educating the next generation to become valuable members of society.

As a crafter and crochet enthusiast, I've put together a round-up of some of my favorite crochet projects that would make perfect gifts for teachers. So grab some yarn and a crochet hook and get started on making something special for your favorite teacher!
