They’re going to need a lot of things to get them settled in their new dorm life: blankets, pillows, dishcloths, soap, antiseptic wipes, books, pens, pencils, a microwave, maybe even a TV. Why not show them you care by knitting them something practical and sentimental with some of these awesome dorm knit patterns for college kids?
