22 Jan Tunisian crochet scarf for men

Tunisian crochet scarf for men scroll down for a free pattern.

It is so hard to get a perfect gift for men, sometimes I want to pull my hair out. Usually my husband buys whatever he wants for himself leaving me stuck not knowing what to get him. For this Valentine’s day I decided to kill 2 birds at once, make him a crochet scarf and well justify the amount of yarn in my stash. He usually asks why I have so much yarn and never make him anything with it. I did consult with him on the design and color choices so I can now truly say that this crochet scarf is approved by a man. After I finished the scarf for my husband my son requested the same scarf for him, because it looked “really cool”. These two words meant the world to me! It’s really rare when older kids really like something that is crochet and actually wear it. Needles to say this crochet scarf was a success!

The design of the scarf was inspired by fabric men’s scarves that I’ve seen in stores. I wanted to replicate that but in crochet. I chose tunisian simple stitch because it is really easy to change colors using this stitch. Also using tunisian simple stitch makes it a simple and mindless project. If you’re new to tunisian crochet, once you get a hand of the stitch the work will just flow. It’s a perfect pattern to work with while watching a movie or even to have it on the go.

As for the yarn you can choose any medium 4 yarn you have in your stash. I went with Loops & Threads® Impeccable™ Yarn but it can be substituted with Lion Brand® Vanna’s Choice® Yarn or Caron® Simply Soft® Yarn
