Cute Boy Crochet

cro robot scarf 0114

Well, there are undoubtedly girls who would like to wear this cool scarf too, but aren’t we always searching for projects for the boys?  This one is definitely in the plus category.  The stitch pattern is so simple that most beginners could succeed at it.  The little bit of sewing required is easily accomplished.  And, no one else will have one like it – unless you choose to make more than one.

For an older guy, I think it would work nicely crocheted in s a steel gray color – more realistic .  Lots of geeks and students would like to have this one.  For a girl, I wouldn’t automatically pull out pink yarn.  The blue that’s shown in nice for a boy or girl, but I’d be tempted to go with a purple or neon color for a girl.  The design is unique but the color choice can make the scarf even more special.  Put your thinking cap on to determine just the right color for your recipient.

  1. For things that are based off of characters, like BMO from Adventure Time, I’d really suggest sticking to the actual color scheme. The original scarf is pretty spot on (and awesome!).

Crochet Baby Beanie – A Sweet Beginner-Friendly Hat Pattern for Baby Showers and Handmade Gifts

This Crochet Baby Beanie is one of those simple little patterns that makes a really lovely handmade gift. It uses soft Bernat Softee Baby yarn for the hat, a fluffy Pipsqueak edging, and an optional crochet flower on the side, giving it that cute baby-shower-ready finish.

What makes this one appealing is that the shape is worked in easy rounds, starting with a magic circle and increasing up to 48 stitches before moving into the textured post-stitch section. The fluffy edging softens the whole look, and the added flower gives it a sweet decorative touch without making the project feel too fussy.

I also like that it feels like a pattern you could easily customize. You could skip the flower for a simpler baby beanie, change the colors for a more modern look, or keep the pink-and-white version for a classic handmade baby gift. It has that practical “quick weekend project” feel, which is always handy when a baby shower sneaks up on you.

If you’re looking for an easy crochet baby hat pattern with a soft, cozy finish, this one is definitely worth a look. It’s cute, giftable, and the fluffy trim gives it a little extra charm.
