Subtle, practical and very warm, this oh-so manly set of textured
winter woollies is sure to go down a treat with any chap in your life. Crochet is wonderful for making pretty lacy stitch patterns, but that doesn’t work when you want to make something for men. Granite stitch is possibly the most masculine of all the crochet stitch patterns – the effect is very much like knitted moss stitch but it’s even easier to achieve and has much better drape and stretch.
Why not get creative and work stripes in the simple scarf pattern? They can make a gift more personal and are such fun to hook. Use team colours or favourite shades for extra brownie points.
