Crochet for Men

If you want to crochet for a man in your life, check out this list I'm compiling. I'm getting ideas from Crochet Partners and anywhere on the net where I can find them. When possible, I'm including a link. Also, any man who would like to suggest something, or even say that something here isn't a good idea, may comment. If there are any links that don't work, try putting it into the Wayback Machine: http://web.archive.org/ and see if you can get the pattern any.

I'll be adding more as I find them, and links, too.

Thanks for looking.
