Hi Katie,

I think it is wonderful you want to make something special for your special someone. I like to make scarves, they are very easy and fun to make. My favorite is cast on 15 stitches; *hdc in 2nd ch from hook, and in every stitch across, ch 2 turn repeat from * till it’s as long as you want or you run out of wool whichever comes first. [You can use single, double or even triple crochet stitch]
And for a dressier look, for a suite and coat, how about a keyhole neck scarf?
Whatever you choose, make it fit his personality, crazy or serious, fringe or not.

Have fun,
Cathy

It's all been a curse for me (socks seem to be my own special curse)... Crochet for yourself (and in front of him)--if he seems into it get him a hook and some absolutely fantastic yarn for Christmas and teach him how to crochet his own scarf. :) I've found it's the best way to (1) spend fun time with someone you like and (2) it means they'll really understand what it means to receive a handmade gift.

I've never crocheted for my boyfriend. I've asked him repeatedly if he wants anything but he doesn't. I think it goes back to the sweater curse thing. When I explained the curse to him, about how if I spend all kinds of time and effort to make him a sweater and he doesn't treated like the most awesome thing ever I might feel slighted (I wouldn't I don't think, but who knows, I got me some problems and could snap at any moment).

Also, I always have 4 or 5 other projects on the hook and I think he does not want to interfere.

One day I will crochet for him a woolly man-thong and get all offended when he doesn't wear it! I wonder if I could make a felted man-thong..."ha ha ha I made something really itchy for your wiener!"

Hardcore? Hardcore is for babies. I'm HOOKCORE!

If I ever took David's pants off and found a crocheted man thong, crocheted or otherwise....AMAZING! I'd be so happy
