It has 15 (and soon more) really nice looking men’s hats patterns knit and crochet. It also covers a nice range of crochet and knitting techniques. While all men’s hat patterns are classified as easy patterns, some can help you to further your crochet or knitting skills a tat.

Classic Cable Hat Free Knitting Pattern for Men
An all-around classic hat! Make them with or without the pompom: both styles look good. The yarn is chunky and the cable is not to intricate, so it’s quite a fast hat to knit that will look great.
Great as a hat for women as well: the hat sure looks cute on her too!
