    Two of Wands 

    One of the most common crochet gifts for men is a cozy scarf. This particular design is a really warm winter scarf worked up in super bulky yarn. It is worked entirely in half double crochet stitches, some of which are worked through the back loop only to give the scarf a classic ribbed design. Long fringe works as a terrific accent in this thick tweedy yarn.

    Repeat Crafter Me

    Make a man in your life smile with a gift of crochet socks decorated with a mustache. These socks are made using a soft tweed yarn perfect for making crochet gifts for men.

    The pattern is worked in single crochet, with graph-based color changes for the mustache portion of the design. It's easy to learn the graph; each dot on the graph corresponds to one single crochet in the row, and the color of the dots is the color yarn to use.

    With lots of photos, this crochet pattern is easy to follow and gives you a lot of great information about the construction of a sock. This pattern is designed for a size 13 men's foot.

    Crochet Cowl Pattern From Nina Leon

    Nina Leon 

    There are many mommy-and-me matching crochet patterns out there, but not nearly so many for dad and sons. This crochet cowl pattern is an exception to the rule. It is worked in worsted weight yarn, with a simple color and stitch change that enhances the style of the accessory. It is written for two sizes—one child and one adult.

    The pattern was designed to match an existing crochet hat pattern by a different designer. The reversible hat pattern is designed for men but can be adjusted to make a boys' hat if you're a skilled crafter. (Tip: Changing the size of your hook to a smaller size will help reduce the size of the hat.) A third designer has also made a matching crochet scarf pattern for those men and boys who don't like the tightness of cowls around the neck.
