Men’s Stuff: Crafts for Men or Made by Men

Dear users, dear authors,
Men are still underrepresented in the world of crafts—that is, knitting, sewing, crocheting, crafting, and so on. Here at Crazypatterns, we’re naturally all for equality, even when it comes to knitting and crocheting, which is why I’m starting this thread. Here, you can share patterns that are great for men to make, as well as patterns that are great for men to make themselves. How you interpret that is up to you. It’s sure to be an exciting read. Have fun with it. Men reading along, please speak up or just write “hello” or something similar in the thread. That’s guaranteed to get you a lot of attention, gentlemen.

@Authors
Please post thematically relevant patterns here, each with a picture, link, and description. Information on the technique, materials, difficulty level, and what makes the pattern special must be included. Please let readers know in detail exactly why they absolutely must buy your pattern.

This loop is for real men! It’s super casual and guaranteed to attract admiring looks! The textured relief pattern isn’t difficult to knit — it only uses knit and purl stitches! It is knitted here in hand-dyed yarn from Malabrigo, but it can also be knitted beautifully in any other yarn of a similar weight (e.g. 6-ply sock yarn) and looks great in solid colors too!

Men: Get the knitting pattern and grab your needles!
Ladies: Knit it for your sweetheart - Christmas is coming up fast!

Have fun knitting,

Knitting isn’t just for women, and loops for men are in!

With this great loop scarf, men can knit themselves a fantastic accessory too! With the simple pattern, beginners and pros alike will get along equally well.
The Sador loop scarf can be made beautifully with many different yarns and yardages. There is no required number of stitches; it can easily be adjusted to any desired individual length.

Hello everyone
I’ll speak up as a man. I’ve been crocheting and knitting for almost 50 years now and still enjoy it. And I have to say, from my point of view, there aren’t any special things that men crochet or knit.

We men go for everything :-)

Whatever we like, we take on.
For my part, over the course of my crafting career, I’ve crocheted or knitted pretty much for everything and everyone. For grandmas, grandpas, babies, little kids, big kids, women, and men.
If I like an idea, I just make it.

And you’ll find great Anleitungen  in my shop. and I’d say they’re all suitable for men...
:-) after all, they’re by a man.

"Crochet Hat for EVERYONE" - a wonderfully easy-to-crochet hat for various styles, meaning ONE hat model wearable in all the pictured variations (see also the image gallery when viewing the item), for both men and women. Easy to make for children too, or as a simple hat for babies (though thinner yarn is recommended). And the best part: no gauge (it doesn't come down to the exact cm), no increases or decreases, possible with any yarn you like in all sizes. The PDF pattern is illustrated.

These crochet skills are enough:
chain stitches, single crochet. Everything else, including slip stitches, is explained.

Material:
for the pictured model with a head circumference of 55 cm to 60 cm, I used approx. 250 g merino yarn (e.g. MyBoshi No 1 or 3), 50 g – 45 m, crochet hook 6.0; measuring tape, scissors, yarn needle for sewing in ends
This hat  (see picture in the signature) and quite a bit more is available here in my shop:

There is one "danger" with this hat, though: your wife/girlfriend/son/daughter might want to "snatch" it - grin.

Oh yes—here’s something else for men: "BRUNO Tie"—easy to crochet.
Not just for Oktoberfest & Co. ..Trendy – crocheted here in blue and white with raffia – this tie is a real
eye-catcher. In a solid color, e.g. in cotton yarn, this lovely piece is great for everyday wear as well as a wonderful outfit for festive occasions, and it can be crocheted quickly in one evening.

We need:
just under 50 g Rafia by Adrialfil, 100% cellulose (Rafia by Mondial, 100% viscose), 25 g – 50 m, hand wash, for hook size 4.5 – 5.0, used here: crochet hook 4.5;
tape measure, scissors, yarn needle for sewing in ends;
gauge with this material: 4 single crochet = 3.5 cm / 1 row = approx. 1 cm high.

Finished measurements with "Rafia" raffia yarn: approx. 5 cm at the widest point – approx. 130 cm – length variable.
When using a cotton yarn, e.g. MyBoshi No. 2, 50 g – 100 m, for crochet hook 4 – 5,
(gauge according to the label: 18 stitches x 22 rows = 10 cm x 10 cm), the tie comes out about 5 mm narrower for me. But that also looks wonderful. Yardage needed is also approx. 50 g.

The PDF is 6 pages long and includes pictures (but it is not a basic crochet course). It includes a short version for printing.

Difficulty level: easy.
These crochet skills are required: chain stitches, single crochet, increasing stitches is explained, crocheting in rows.

This PDF pattern is available here in my shop:

08 E-Book Crochet Pattern Trendy Men's Scarf 

Anja from alpenglüh'n wishes you lots of fun crocheting it

I designed this set especially for my brother. He loves color, but I can also imagine this set looking wonderful in shades of gray and natural tones. The patterns for the loop scarf, the hat, and the mittens are also available separately. The loop scarf is very easy to knit, but the hat and mittens are definitely manageable for adventurous knitting beginners.

I used Lana Grossa ALTA MODA ALPACA (90% alpaca, 5% virgin wool, 5% polyamide, LL 140 m/50 g) – a classic from LANA GROSSA that comes out in great new colors every season.

Brand new: there is now a matching hat for the Ansgar Boyfriend Loop! The ANSGAR Hat is for cool boys and real men! Together with the loop, it’s of course the perfect set for getting through the winter in style. The textured pattern is easy to knit, and the decreases are explained step by step. For the original, I used Arroyo by Malabrigo, a hand-dyed merino yarn. But you can also easily use any 6-ply sock yarn or other yarns in a similar weight.

@Hello Flima
I just think men who crochet and knit are awesome. I just haven’t met any yet. I like that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

As a Christmas gift that’s guaranteed to make boys’ and men’s eyes light up, I have the following crochet pattern:

         Here’s the pattern.


These tractors take a little time to crochet. But they’re all the more fun for it!
The pattern is written in great detail; even a beginner can make it.

You’ll need:

• Wool/yarn in gray and black, plus a color for the bodywork (the thicker the yarn, the bigger the tractor!). Detailed quantities are in the pattern.
  
• Stuffing

Have fun!
