So here we are… on the 3rd instalment of DIY Christmas. For those of you that have been following you have seen me create kitty bags and customized shoes for the little ones. If you have not been following, you can click the links above or do a search for DIY Christmas. You may be saying to yourself… “Well not all of my family is under 12 years old, so what do we give the bigger manlier version of my family?” Well that question is a toughie! It is hard to think of anything that can be given to a guy you may not know much about. What I do know is that my brother-in-law has everything he needs and my blood brother is quite elusive, so I better crochet my way out of this one!
So what does every man need in the winter? No matter how hairy that man may be, even the furriest of mammals could use a hat and scarf ! First pick your manly colors (grey, black, dark reds, and blues are my go to man colors, as well as earth tones) I apologize in advance for my gender specific color assignments, but when it comes down to it, my brother is a picky picky man! Find your crochet hook and get to crocheting. I used a single stitch for the hats below. If you need help on how to crochet, you can refer to the wonderful world of You tube for tutorials and color changing for striped is easy, just knot the new yarn onto the one you are finished working with.
