When you think of crochet for men, I bet you think of a hat or crochet scarf. I know I did!

The Champion Crochet Scarf for men is inspired by my husband. He is a handsome man that enjoys wearing coordinating clothing items, especially his hoodie, t-shirt and short designs for his business and brand that match his sneakers. #marriedtoasneakerhead

Once upon a time, he would be “suited and booted” when he would travel the country as a motivational speaker, or when we attend a fancy dinner or event. Most days, he goes for comfortable style, and I think this crochet scarf complements that well.

I chose a classic, old fave stitch, the lemon peel stitch, as it create a subtle texture that will likely be more preferred than a shell stitch for the fellas. By adding crochet color work, the lemon peel stitch gets some more style points.

By choosing colors that compliment the wearer’s style and personality, this crochet scarf is sure to be appreciated and worn often on cool weather days.

The benefits of making a crochet scarf

• A crochet scarf is ALWAYS a practical gift when the weather cools, especially to donate to those in need.
• It will never be out of style since it can be draped around the neck of a sweater or coat, wrapped once or twice to for warmth, pull the ends through a loop to secure it’s placement, and wrapped several times to be worn like a cowl.
• It can add pops of color to any outfit or outerwear
• Great opportunity to practice new stitches and techniques.
• Great for mindless crochet when made from simple stitches.

Yarn

Do you love tweed yarn like I do??

I enjoy the pops of color and little nubby feel of a tweed yarn. WeCrochet’s Provincial Tweed was the perfect choice, as it’s 80% Fine Superwash Highland Wool and 20% donegal tweed (which is made of acrylic and viscose) in a 100 gram hank. Each hank offers a put up of 250 yards for $13.99, which is reasonable for a worsted weight #4 yarn animal fiber. With 13 rich colors to choose from, you’re sure to create a palette that puts a smile on the crochet scarf wearer’s face.

Did I mention this yarn is a sheen??

Well, it does have a sheen and it’s SOFT. I thought about untwisting the hanks and somehow linking them together to wear them as a cowl. I’m always cold and get creative to stay warm. ???? Definitely consider adding some Provincial Tweed to your stash.
