30+ crocheted gifts for guys

[@spamstarzz]

you definitly pass the vibe check. as a trans guy who loves to crochet, i really like these ideas as its kind of hard to find masculine patterns. thanks man!

[@Showmeromi]

Yay! That's what I want to hear :) i plan to publish some patterns from my makes in the future. We need more!

[@awkwardmoron5840]

i agree, a lot of the channels focus on stuff centred for women and it can be hard to find things i personally want to make

[@deebrandao5679]

Yes!! I feel like even some of the "unisex" patterns I see recomended are unconsciously made with a femenine cut in mind (stopping at the waist instead of hips, sometimes having shaping at the chest area), which can make finding a project difficult because I know I'll have to make alterations and it won't be just as straightforward as following the pattern normally

[@strangewhims]

I also agree with this! I was so happy when you popped up on my recommended page. 🖤

[@DanielSchudeAraujo]

Hey! I am also a trans guy who loves to crochet,

[@loverrbboy2000]

so excited to see more men in fiber arts. will be following!!

[@Showmeromi]

Thank you!

[@jordansmithson9602]

Pro Tip: Ask them what they want. Under no circumstances is it a good idea to make a gift based on assumption. There's nothing worse than putting all that time and effort into something that will never be used.

[@Showmeromi]

100%!

[@wdutsr44a]

as a nonbinary person who is very into fiber arts, it was so welcome to see someone more male presenting giving advice. But also so clearly being welcoming and kind. thank you

[@Showmeromi]

I'm happy to be here, thank you!

[@kimasp7482]

Just stumbled on your channel while drinking my morning coffee....Fun story. My man is an Aerospace Engineer who just designed and had built a custom log cabin in the mountains of TN...Needless to say she's an incredible beast. I took it upon myself to start to make him a king size temperature blanket for his "big boy bed" at the cabin. I based the temperatures on the year they broke ground on the cabin(2022). I'm STILL going at this blanket (doing other projects as well)and have just a couple more months to go until this thing is finished....being that it's my first temperature blanket it's definitely been a fun project and worth every stitch. A labor of love and my largest project to date, if I ever get it done, BUT he's worth it. He's got 14 grand babies so next on the list, a "Grandpa Cardigan", of course..lol. Thank you for some more "manageable" sized idea's! My poor little Grandma fingers appreciate you!

[@Showmeromi]

Thank you for sharing this story! He sounds incredible and I'm sure he'll love it.

[@katie-allen]

Okay this is exactly what I woke up thinking about this morning; and I was like I wish there was a video actually made by a guy about this so I would know if guys really will want these things. And then you had just uploaded!! Perfect. And thank you for acknowledging that like a crochet wallet and tool belt are bad ideas. So many recommendations are things like that and I’m like girl… he does not want that lol. Your ideas are actually so helpful

[@Showmeromi]

So glad I can help! Yeah, you get it 100%. Good luck on your project💪🏼👍🏼

[@analove9647]

That line on the imperfections hit home for me I’ve been crocheting since I was watching my mom do it as a kid and I beat myself up and have to undo it and always quit the project because my OCD and have been working on my current project for over a year. It’s just a cardigan.

[@Showmeromi]

My favorite sweater is full of them and I love it. It's how you know it's handmade :)

[@MarquitasKnottyCrush]

Nothing says love like wool socks (my opinion). So, glad to see that on the list. What a cute tie!

[@Showmeromi]

You can't beat the classics!

[@sophdog2564]

I liked how more yarn = more commitment If i was making my dad something i would probably make him a beanie because he is bald and his head gets cold. Also i have no guarantee he would wear a shirt or something lol

[@ghiitaspark2839]

I recently stared learning crochet, and i give all my creation to my sisters and girl friends, and I only made scarfs for my husband and dad. I was pondering about what else to make them. This video is a blessing!!! Thank you for sharing! ♥

I recently made my man a granny square bucket hat with his favorite FB team colors, and he loves it!

[@Showmeromi]

That's awesome! I figured that would be a good idea

[@thatcasualdragon2975]

"I'm like a man slash man-adjacent" was wonderful. I might start using "adjacent" toward gender now too! Also loved the Patrick keychain with "make him something from his favorite anime" it sent me, it was great!

[@Showmeromi]

If anyone I know makes me something I want it to be patrick for sure haha

[@theanimefan00]

I did an opossum for my special guy with genilia yarns. He loves it, and it fills him with joy everytime.

[@lizziegracecrochet]

Love to see a man or people of other genders crochet!(don't blame me when i say this) I feel like mostly women or feminine people crochet!I LOVE to see the diversity of the crochet community and yt❤❤❤

[@Showmeromi]

Happy to share my makes! I love all the amazing women in this community. They taught me everthing here on YT

[@shaani7978]

Thank you so much for making this video! I started crocheting last year and I really want make my husband a crochet gift.

[@Showmeromi]

Hope he likes it! I love making a gift :)

[@AlexaSalas-b1k]

I think using 100% cotton sport yarn for wallets would be good. Or a mix of nylon for it to be more durable

[@kerravonsen2810]

Yay! You've listed at least two items I haven't seen everyone else suggest: scented rear-view-mirror hangings, and stress balls (rice inside a balloon, I didn't know that, thank you!) Totally agree with you on the tool-belt/tool-roll/wallet thing: making those with crochet instead of cloth or leather is going to leave you with a substandard item which the person will have to pretend to like. I've been looking at tool-roll patterns for myself, as something to store my DPNs in, and I myself would rather get something made of leather or cloth.

[@raflexonics]

I'm gonna recommend an Ascot for a tie! I'm feeling the western/sailor theme this year.

[@Showmeromi]

Yes! I wear ascots regularly and they're the best. Always gets a compliment

[@PoppieDaisy]

I’m so glad I found you. Thanks for these good suggestions!

[@Isabella-kh8qi]

I made my grandpa a crochet neck pillow for his birthday and it's been VERY well loved ❤ with Christmas on it's way I'm not sure if I can beat that this time 😂

[@DavidHendricks-c6g]

polypropylene string makes very tight fabric, suitable for high stress applications. It comes in many colors and diameters, and is found on the aisle of big box store with rope and chains. It offers a new dimension to the crochetist.

[@CommissionerManu]

Thicc Patrick sent me 😂

[@katrinakester3568]

Really loved your video!!!! I'm making a blanket for my guy right now but have been thinking about Christmas gifts or stocking stuffers for him and the rest of the guys in my life (parents, siblings, and in-laws lol) and the beer cozy is a great idea!!! Loved the idea of putting more masculine scents in the car one as well. Thank you so much!!!!

[@pindebraende]

love the helpful ideas, love your whole vibe. i've never crocheted but this is making me want to get into it, as a fellow man adjecent person

[@BigBadWolframio]

Yeah, thanks for the way you presented this. As someone with a more masc presentation than the "traditiona" crochet patterns, I'm so happy to find videos like these! It's great to have a multitude of styles and patterns to choose from so everybody can feel comfortable and feel like crocheting is for them too. 😊

[@Muted_Marcus]

This is really helpful as someone only getting into crocheting! It feels a bit intimidating to go from the most generic clothing to fun handmade ones suddenly, lol. P.S. I, too, love the anime character rosy-cheeked Patrick.

[@Showmeromi]

The Patrick almost made the thumbnail because I just love it that much 😅

[@jaredini]

Wow, the bow tie idea is great! Seems simple to, I'll give it a go. I'm always banging out blankets, so I'll will make a change lol. 45 Yr old guy here.

[@christanared74]

Thanks for the suggestions, and breaking them down by skein quantity. Very helpful, and yes I may be able to make something before Valentine's Day's.😊

[@Showmeromi]

Of course. Good luck on your make!

I made a Maverick puppy for my huge Golden Knights fan. My adult sons like anything I make but I never thought about pot holders cuz they both cook. Ty so much for this. I have made them bath and kitchen scrubbies

[@crochetmezaddy]

The justifications for why they need a bigger gift are so unserious and I'm laughing so much hahaha

[@Showmeromi]

Hey I've been seeing you on YT! Haha. Yeah I was trying to think of the low standards for straight men 😂

[@BB-wg7mq]

Thank you. You gave me the idea I needed to begin my next project.

[@GreenParlour0749]

Thank you, I’ve been wanting to make some gifts for the men in my life but while none would tell me something is “too” feminine for them I’d still like to try for a masculine style because it’s what matches their personal styles. Also it’s nice to see more men, or men adjacent as you described yourself, crocheting/knitting because it’s a wonderful unisex hobby that my son has gotten into after years of watching me do it but we mainly only find female channels.

[@Showmeromi]

Glad this helps :)

"he deserves more than a skein" 😆😂

[@3rdand105]

One thing that must be mentioned is that if you're making potholders, do NOT use acrylic. The heat of pans coming out of the oven will definitely make acrylic yarn melt after the first few uses. You'll get what looks like burnt crystals on them after a while. I learned this from experience. Also, I've had more than a few men approach me about making them cloaks and hooded capes. Living in Florida, I don't think they're thinking this through; even if they were knit, they would still be too warm here. That, and it's a lot of work to make an ankle-length garment. For those of you in colder climates, a cloak may be an option, but make sure your recipient wants one, and make sure you're willing to put in the work for such a garment.

[@kerravonsen2810]

Absolutely, avoid man-made fibres for potholders and trivets. 100% cotton is what I usually use. Other 100% natural fibres (e.g. linen, wool) would work too.

[@Goldsaint89268]

@@Showmeromi we crochet-nb's gotta stick together !! ^.^ really enjoyed your vibe in this video btw! this was a simple list, but like, one that is very needed. i find masc crochet pattern lists can skew towards like, overly masculine in a gimmicky way, or are exclusively clothes -- which isn't a bad thing! but this vid is filling a niche, i think, and i think it does it very well, as a nonbinary person whose husband is also best described as "man, or man-adjacent"

[@Kaleiope]

Hello from r/newtubers! :D Scrunchies would probably make a good gift for guys, especially with more men (men, trans men, etc, all included) with "man buns" these days. Plus, if they have a good texture, they can be fun to fidget with. I bought a bunch of crochet scrunchies at a craft show a few years ago, I honestly fidgeted with them more than I wore them. I wrapped them all up together into a stress ball. (new product idea lol?)

Ok thanks for all the cool and fun ideas. Even your crochet shorts for men aren't bad, but I don't think most people should attempt this. If you look up crochet shorts or crochet pants for men you will see lots of hilariously hideous results. Some things are better off done in crochet than others!
