Do you enjoy simple and quick crochet projects? This crochet men’s scarf is just that! It is easy, simple, and quick to work up, and it’s also perfect for beginners!
It took me some time to decide on a stitch for this crochet scarf, as I wanted it to look simple but still attractive. I made a couple of crochet stitch samples to show my husband, and he chose this stitch, which is known as the Moss Stitch. I think the Moss Stitch is one of the best crochet stitches for a men’s scarf. It looks good and, best of all, it’s quick and easy. The simplicity of this stitch makes it perfect for men’s crochet projects!
The crochet pattern and stitch are both very easy, making it beginner-friendly. It works up super quickly and makes an attractive gift for men.
If you already know how to crochet the Single Crochet stitch, you’ll find this pattern a breeze. For absolute beginners, it’s a great idea to start with the basics. You can follow this quick tutorial to learn how to make a slip knot, chain, and the Single Crochet stitch, or jump straight to the Moss Stitch tutorial if you’re familiar with starting a crochet project.
There’s also a video demonstration of this scarf below. Once you’re ready, return here and practice your stitches while creating something special for yourself, a friend, or a loved one. It would make a wonderful Christmas or Father’s Day gift!
About the Stitch

Moss Stitch is a super-easy crochet stitch that is great for beginners! It’s much easier than it looks and you can create some amazing crochet projects by just using multiple colours!
If you enjoy small projects, this crochet Tea Towel pattern uses the Moss stitch as well. By alternating two contrasting colours, you’ll achieve a different look.

Row 2: Ch 1, SC in the first Ch-1 space, *Ch 1, SC in next Ch-1 sp*. Repeat from * to * until the end of this row. The very last SC should be worked into the space between the Ch 1 turning chain and the first SC from the previous row. Turn

Please email me your beautiful patterns and newsletters. I am into crocheting scarves, Cowls, womens, girls, mens, boys. I have made a cowl for myself. How do you sew the ends together for a cowl, with a sewing needle, a crochet hook, or something else?
Hi Carolyn, I’m happy to send you my newsletter! If you haven’t subscribed yet, you can do so here: https://mycrochetspace.com/subscribe/
To sew the ends together, I use a yarn needle, also called a tapestry needle with a blunt tip and a large eye, like in this cowl://mycrochetspace.com/crochet-easy-cowl-pattern/
You can also work in spiral rounds if the stitch pattern allows it. That way you don’t need to sew the ends together, like in this cowl https://mycrochetspace.com/fireside-neck-warmer/ 🙂
I am a beginner but have made several prayer shawls. I’d live the pattern for the men’s hombre scarf. How might I print that out? thank you!
Hi Loni, I currently don’t have a PDF prepared for this pattern. But there is a video demonstration that you can follow, if that helps! 🙂
Completed this every easy scarf for my brother’s Christmas present. Very easy pattern. Used Big Twist Reverb yarn (medium 4 weight) and 6.0mm hook.
That’s wonderful! I’m so glad you found the pattern easy to follow. 😊
