Hello makers. All new for 2025, I have
0:04
updated my crochet gifts for men to
0:06
expand it to 20 items to give you some
0:09
ideas to make for the male recipient you
0:11
have in mind. I've gone beyond the
0:14
basics. So, while the basics are
0:16
featured in this list, I've dug a little
0:18
deeper so that you can really figure out
0:21
what your man in particular will enjoy.
0:38
So, first up, I have men's garments. And
0:41
I've got three different ones here that
0:42
I've curated. These beautiful sweaters
0:45
for men. And if you've ever even
0:48
slightly considered making a garment for
0:53
I might give you some of the best
0:55
reasons to have you pull the trigger.
0:58
If you think about why we like garments
1:00
specially made for us as women, if
1:02
you're a woman watching this video, you
1:04
know that when something fits you
1:05
perfectly, you feel so beautiful in it.
1:07
You put it on and it just feels very
1:10
special. Another thing, men, some of
1:13
them have sensitive skin just like some
1:15
of us have it. And if you hear him
1:17
complaining of things being scratchy,
1:21
you'll know this is your cue to make him
1:24
a sweater. We have so many beautiful
1:26
yarns now available of natural fibers.
1:29
You have the bamboo cotton blend, bamboo
1:31
wool blend, cotton wool blends. All of
1:34
these are going to be much softer on the
1:36
skin and they won't have the irritation
1:38
of acrylic that he possibly is
1:40
complaining about or getting rashes
1:43
from. And then of course the issue of is
1:46
he a special size? So me is a special
1:49
size. I'm tall. I started designing
1:52
garments for that reason. So, if you've
1:54
got a man that's on the shorter side, he
1:57
shorter than average, taller than
1:58
average, if he's husky and just he's,
2:01
you know, a little sensitive about how
2:03
things cling to him. Men get like that,
2:06
too. Making him something that fits his
2:08
body perfectly is such a special gift
2:11
that he will really enjoy. So,
2:14
that's why I'm putting this as number
2:16
one. These patterns that I'm showing you
2:19
are not exactly beginner patterns. I've
2:21
just curated them. They've been on my
2:23
list for three years because I think
2:25
they're so beautiful, but there are
2:26
beginner friendly options out there that
2:28
you can look up on your favorite site to
2:30
look up for patterns.
2:34
Next is a beer cozy. This would be
2:37
really fun in his favorite team colors.
2:43
Of course, footwear makes the list and
2:45
that is house shoes. I've curated two
2:48
styles I think look really great.
2:50
There's a slip-on style and then a full
2:57
Next, we have the gentleman's dressing
2:59
tray. I can remember all the way back to
3:01
my childhood. My father had one of
3:03
these. All of my uncles, the ones that I
3:06
saw their bedrooms, they have one of
3:07
these. Boyfriends, husband, brother, all
3:10
have this catchall on the top of their
3:12
dresser where they keep their things.
3:14
They don't carry handbags like ladies
3:16
do. And I think this is a wonderful
3:21
kind of handmade thing to make. And you
3:23
can really sort of man it up more by
3:26
wrapping leather cord stitches around
3:29
the edge. I'm showing you a store-bought
3:32
one from I think this is Pottery Barn
3:34
and then I want to show you an option to
3:35
make one from crochet. So, I really like
3:38
the look of this one. And again, the
3:41
patterns are linked in the description
3:42
or you can find another one you like
3:44
that would serve the same purpose.
3:48
One of the car accessories I have on
3:50
this list. We know how much men tend to
3:52
love their cars is the steering wheel
3:54
cover. Now, these are not safe to drive
3:57
with, but they do regulate the
4:00
temperature during very hot months and
4:02
very cold months so that when he gets in
4:05
the car, the steering will will be a
4:07
comfortable temperature. I don't have a
4:10
particular pattern picked out. I looked
4:12
at several and there's so many types. I
4:14
think the skull granny square is really
4:16
fun. Many of the patterns that I see
4:19
when I do a search are just granny
4:21
squares sewn together in a line and
4:23
fitted for a steering wheel. So, you can
4:25
do a little research, see which one
4:28
would suit your man's taste the best.
4:32
How about a protective device cover in a
4:35
color that is of his favorite sports
4:37
teams or just masculine colors to
4:40
protect his reading device or electronic
4:43
device. You can customize the size to
4:46
fit it perfectly. If you're finding
4:48
these ideas helpful, please give this
4:50
video a like and tell me in the comments
4:52
which one you feel like you would like
4:54
to make. Of course, hats are in this
4:58
roundup of 20 items. This is the
5:00
standard one. I make this often, almost
5:04
every year, if not for the same person,
5:06
if for multiple men. It's a unisex
5:09
style. It's free on my channel and on
5:11
the website. And again, the patterns are
5:13
linked in the description. It's a quick
5:16
chunky hat using category 5 or category
5:19
6 yarn, and it looks great on men, and
5:21
you can even make one for yourself.
7:22
Last, I have two items for the cook and
7:25
even the griller. So, my fish pot holder
7:27
patterns are one of my most popular
7:29
patterns. So many of you love to make
7:31
these and give these as gifts, which I
7:33
would not have thought of, but you make
7:35
them for the fishermen in your families
7:37
and the cooks in your families and for
7:39
your coastal homes and your lakeouses
7:42
even. Really fun. And the other is this
7:45
thermal stitch pot holder. It's a really
7:47
basic, simple design, but with the
7:50
stripes, it can take on a masculine
7:52
look. You can again use the sports
7:54
teams, use warm masculine tones. And to
7:58
really, you know, kind of man it up,
8:00
instead of using the wood ring, which of
8:02
course that's plenty masculine, you
8:05
could do something really cool like
8:06
leather cording, which I mentioned
8:08
earlier for the desk. Uh, not the desk,
8:12
the dresser tray. You could do the kind
8:15
of leather cord on there. I think that
8:17
would look really masculine and give it
8:20
kind of this cool vibe that he would
8:22
enjoy. And they hang great on the grill.
8:24
And when you make it with cotton, of
8:26
course, it's heat safe. And the larger
8:29
size is a nice big size for a man's
8:31
hands. I have really long hands since
8:33
I'm so tall proportionately. I've got
8:35
long hands. So, they'll absolutely work
8:38
great for a man. Let me know which one
8:41
of these you like the most and you're
8:42
considering making. And thanks for
8:44
watching. I hope to see you again. Did
8:47
you know I designed project trackers?
8:49
Large print and regular print for small,
8:52
medium, and large size projects. The

own or you can try it for free.
