67 College Crochet Ideas for Your Student’s Dorm

When you’re sending your young adult off to college for the first time, a crocheted gift can provide them a little extra comfort and remind them of home. These college crochet ideas will keep your favorite student warm, cozy, and organized.

But we all know teens can be picky at this age. They want crocheted items that fit their unique style, impress their friends, and show off their team spirit.

Also, in a shared dorm room, space can be tight. It’s important to pack light and keep clutter to a minimum. (Incidentally, this is one of five tips for getting your teen ready to live at college, included along with one of the featured patterns in this collection.) So any items a student takes should be practical, or not too bulky, or both.

This collection features cozy crochet blankets and pillows, storage solutions, small decor pieces, and other practical items—all useful items to pack when moving into a dorm.

Choose from 67 college crochet ideas to suit even the most exacting taste. When your teen uses them, they’ll think of you—and maybe even remember to call once in a while!
