Crochet Patterns for Men

Free crochet patterns for men: fitted beanies, scarves, sweaters, vests, slippers, mitts and gifts that get worn rather than politely thanked for.

The trick with menswear is restraint. Simple textured stitches, solid or narrowly striped colours, and a close even fabric read as tailored, where lace and heavy ruffles rarely do.

A ribbed beanie or a chunky scarf is the safest starting point, and a plain drop-shoulder sweater is the most wearable larger project. See also hat patterns and gift ideas.
