Just like women look better with clothes on, men seem to look more attractive with hats on. Don’t you think? Well, given how cold it has gotten, the good news is that most men will want and need a hat! Lots of hats. Not all heads suit the same hat. That’s why I developed a comprehensive overview. 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!
