The Dude crochet blanket is simple, durable, and not too frilly, just like most guys like things.
I used Hobby Lobby’s I Love This Yarn, but any soft worsted weight yarn will be great for this project!
This is one of those projects that is mindless and easy to work on when watching TV or chatting with friends. You and the special “dude” in your life will love it!
This crochet blanket is great for guys and girls alike! Don’t let the name fool you!
The Dude Blanket can be made in any color combination you like or make it solid! You can also change the size of the blanket by working in multiples of 2+1.

Pullover– this raglan style sweater is so trendy and looks great on everyone!
Cardigan – this is a blazer style sweater that will have your guy looking sharp!
Hat and Scarf Set– a warm texture and simple style makes this one great for the guys!
Washcloth– the same simple stitch combo as this blanket and the pattern is free!
