10 scarfs for Daddy

   Many countries celebrate the Father’s Day on the third Sunday of June, but in Spain (and other countries) we celebrate it the 19^th of March. Although I’m writing this entry due to Father’s Day in Spain, any day is a good day to give a present to your dad, isn’t it?
    

   As March is still cold (we have a proverb in Spain: Don’t take your coat off till the 40^th of May), a scarf is a good present to wrap up them warm. And if the scarf is hand knitted and the design is specially chosen for him, it’s going to be a much more personal present.

         

   I’m going to show you some scarfs for men (not only fathers are cold, but also the rest of men ;-) From very simple ones, for those of you beginning to knit, to others a bit more complicated and with a more flashy finishing.
         

   And if you don’t knit, but you think this scarf you’re looking at is perfect for this person you’re thinking of, don’t doubt, contact me.   

   First some scarfs knitted with ribbing stitch. It’s a basic stitch, but it is perfect for those people who like simple designs. Being simple don’t make them less beautiful.

            

   In this one a changing colour yarn has been used to give a showier finishing.

   Or we can use thicker yarn for the stitch to be appreciated, using just one colour or combining colours

We can choose a pattern that produces a design when knitting. As we are knitting a scarf, we’ll look for reversible stitches. For example, we can use a pattern that remind of a chess board.

 We can knit a scarf with a diagonal design. This one was made for my godfather.

   Personally, I love scarfs with cables. If you make reversible cables, the result is great, and you can make different combinations, as those I'm showing you.

   I made this one for my father, and he wears it with great pleasure.

   I made this other one for my husband, but he hardly ever wears it.
