Go here to see my hat and scarf set I designed during my stint as a grand jurer. I like the pattern because it is understated and can be made for a man without making feel like an idiot for wearing it.

[SHERYL]

[Carol]

Yes do share the pattern, it is very hard to crochet for the men I know this is good.

[hooked2]

Both are soooo elegant! The stitches are beautiful (or should I say "handsome" for the guys? - )! And I love the colors that you chose - very rich looking. I too would love your pattern!!! :clap

 

PS: It's the technical writer in me I suppose (and I don't me to offend you), but it's "juror", not "jurer."

Oh, please post the pattern. My eldest son has a phobia about wearing hats in the winter because he feels that there aren't any "guy" looking hats. This is really nice! I have an old ugly green hat that I love to death, but it isn't warm anymore since I have worn it to death! I love these colors for him and maybe a brown and cream for me! (But don't tell my "ugly green hat")
