Men’s knit scarf pattern and slouchy knit hat pattern

Knitting ribbed set with circular needles

Winter is taking over and it’s getting colder from day to day, so you should be fully equipped with warm cloth for this type of weather. We mostly knit some nice things for women and babies, and ignore our lovely men. Now is the time to change the situation a bit and knit slouchy hat together with warm knit scarf for men. I hope this winter ammunition will be used and appreciated by your second half. This knitting set can also be used by women by changing its color you can easily get a knit hat and knit scarf for women. Enjoy this pair of knit patterns and have wonderful days before Christmas holidays!

Men’s knit scarf pattern:

For the men’s knit scarf I have used the same type of yarn and needle size.

I believe that men like something simple and cozy at the same type. For the scarf I have chosen English Rib Stitch or also known as Fisherman’s rib.

Cast on 32 stitches.

Row 1: selvage stitch (slip the first stitch), *k1, yo, slip 1 st as if purled, repeat from * till the last stitch, selvage st (purl);

Row 2: selvage st , *k next st and yo together, yo, slip 1 st as if purled repeat from* till the last stitch, selvage st.

Repeat Row 2 until your scarf measures desired length. Bind off loosely.
