Hip ,easy mens scarves or hats patterns

[deneen]

Does anyone know of any hip, quick (one day) hats or scarf patterns for teen boys or men? A lot of the scarfe patterns are usually knit. Crochet stitches tend to look more "feminine" then knit. I just need a few ideas for the holidays--help:ideanot

Right now I am making some men's scarves in wool-ease and wool... just sc in the back loop to make fake cables, and using manly type colors (grey, navy, and and tweedy maroon with gray flecks) no fringe just really quick and simple!

I think it's really cool that he crochets.

I started one last night using the diagonal box stitch. It's working up very quickly and looks nice, too. Unisex, I think, depending on what yarn one uses.

Do check out Andrew's page (linked above) my kids and I think his work is awesome!

 

A really cool and guy-ish (didn't want to say manly) scarf in crochet is simple. Crochet a chain the desired LENGTH of your scarf (nice and long is good) then sc in each chain. *Ch1 and turn. Now, sc across in the BACK LOOPS only across.* Repeat from between the ** until it is the width you desire. (Thinner is more "in" now.) This makes a lovely ribby scarf.

 

My daughter is making hats for her grand-dads using Bernat Boucle. She's doing a simple half-double crochet start-at-the-top-and-increase-evenly type of hat (increase until it's 5 1/2" around.. like a little dessert plate) then work even until it's the right length. The boucle is a bit fussy to work with, but the hat is very plush.

I think a scarf done in <a href="http://mysite.verizon.net/vze8mnnp/cornerstart.html" target="_new">diagonal crochet</a> looks quite manly when done in man-friendly yarns using man-colors.

If you use a larger crochet hook, make a chain the length you would like your scarf to be. Turn and slip stitch in each chain. Repeat until it's the width you want it (which may take a little longer when using a slip stitch, but the larger your hook the faster it will go). The end result looks knit rather than crocheted.
