Warm Crochet Patterns For Men



Do not be fooled, crocheted sock patterns are not as tricky as they look. This is the most simplest sock pattern I could find and they look very cozy! 



This is a very nice pullover sweater, this pattern goes all the way up to 3x. I think my hubby would look very handsome in this sweater.



These slippers look very easy to crochet and I know my man would appreciate something like this. I might even make myself a matching pair. That would be adorable :)



I love slouchy Beanies, this one looks very casual.



The creator of this beanie pattern has also included sizes for the little men in your life. 



I appreciate vertical stripes in a scarf oooh and tassels ;)



This is a very handsome scarf, it looks very heavy too for when it is the coldest.



I was working on this ribbed beanie and for some reason I feel like this project would be best in a quiet room. I kept getting lost after each stitch I made. I don't think I was concentrating hard enough on it. I am definitely going to give this one another shot because I know it is very much do-able.



Another nice stripey scarf with tassels :D



This ribbed hat looks nice and bulky and will keep anyone's head warm!

I will update this post as I find more patterns. Please enjoy :)

6 Lovely Scarf & Hat Crochet Patterns


                                                                                  

Yup! Texas heat is driving me crazy and it has me fantasizing about a cold front. I am excited for the fall and when it gets a little cooler, mostly because I love the feeling of being snuggled up in my accessories. I feel much cuter in a scarf and beanie lol! Anyways, here are some patterns I came across that will help us prepare for a time where there will be hot chocolate and a warm fire place ;)


Lady Catherine Hooded Scarf 


 This hooded scarf looks absolutely gorgeous and I love the shell stitch! It is $3 for the pattern but I think it is worth it. I usually try to find free patterns but sometimes when they are as lovely as this scarf, you just gotta buy it. I am very excited to try this one out!


What attracted me to this pattern were the beautiful bold colors she used and I also felt that the scarf was great for the fall. I might go with some autumn colors such as purple or burgundy. I might also give multi-colored yarn a shot with this one.


I love how simple yet elegant this set is. It is very sweet and something any woman may love to wear. 


Cozy Buttoned Crochet Cowl


 Once again, I am loving the shell stitch, this cowl is absolutely stunning and definitely classy enough to wear to a family dinner or a evening stroll downtown. This cowl makes me excited for the holidays heheh...



I have always wanted to try out a pattern that included the cable stitch, I think this set is very cute, casual and worth a shot. I am loving the pom pom :p


             Infinity & Beyond Broomstick Lace Scarf


At last! The broomstick lace scarf. I love it. Need I say more? 


Hope you enjoy these patterns as much as I do!

Summer Crochet Projects



Okay, when I think of crochet and knitting the first things that pop up in my mind are scarfs, hats, and basically anything else to keep warm. It takes me a while to come up with some projects to do through out all seasons, not just during the winter. Thankfully, we have things like Pinterest now! Most of the patterns that you see on this post were saved onto my "Crochet Patterns" pinterest board. Here they are and I hope you enjoy!



You can find this lovely shoulder bag pattern right here.
This is my favorite purse pattern so far because I found it to be very simple to do and it looks elegant.  It uses the shell stitch and single crochet. I loved the way my finished project turned out. I used Hobby Lobby's "I Love This Cotton,"  then I added some accessories such as pearls and a cute little flower pin I found in Hobby Lobby. Also, if you are any good at making beaded purse handles you could try to do what I couldn't succeed at. I haven't taken photos of my finished item yet but when I do, I will make sure to post it.


This is the next purse pattern that I am excited to try out. You can find this one on Ravelry


I am working on a coin purse right now but not from this pattern. I thought these were adorable and I really love the colors. Attaching the purse to the frame looks tricky to me so here is a visual reference. 




You can do so much with this place-mat & coaster set pattern. I will let your imagination run wild... 



These coasters are just too cute. I love the lacey look they have. 







Well that is all I have for this post folks! I will be sure to update this particular one and you can expect a post of my most recent projects by next weekend. I will keep my eyes peeled for more. Hope these patterns I came across come in handy and you enjoy!
