21 Crochet Patterns that are Perfect Makes for Men
I don’t know about you but I sometimes struggle to be inspired when I am looking for crochet patterns for men.
And now is the time when we generally start thinking about it. We are gearing up for our holiday makes, writing our lists of projects that we want to make or gift. But some people are just difficult to think of gifts for!
The men in my family all appreciate a bottle for Christmas. But the last few years I have refused to bend to that. So I have forced myself into a corner of coming up with other gift ideas. Almost all of them appreciate the effort that goes into handmade gifts, so now I challenge myself to find them something that I can make.
I first hosted the Just for Him event in 2021. (The bundle for this is still available if you want to check it out!) It was a great success! And many of the patterns featured are still available as free on the designers’ blog posts.
