10 Free Men’s Scarves to Knit
#1. Cerus Scarf Free Knitting Patterns
The scarf is knit in Linen Stitch lengthwise (each row travels the entire length of the scarf, rather than back and forth along the width).
Designed by Hilary Smith Callis
Uses DK weight self striping yarn.

#2. Dudester Scarf Free Knitting Pattern
This scarf was designed for guys who love to dress up. Dudester is an extra-wide scarf so it can be worn flat or scrunched up and tucked inside a coat.
The scarf is knit in a hurdle stitch with garter ribs which is reversible, easy to memorize and makes an interesting texture that doesn’t curl.
Designed by Jana Pihota.
Uses worsted weight yarn.

#4. Boyfriend Scarf Free Knitting Pattern
From the designer, “What prompted the idea to knit my boyfriend a scarf was the topcoat he bought to wear to with his suits this winter: the coat didn’t button all the way up and required a scarf to stay warm. I knew that if I wanted to guarantee that he would wear it, the scarf needed to be a “manly” scarf. And what could be more “manly” than charcoal gray and a thermal-like stitch pattern?”
Uses super bulky weight yarn.
Designed by Lucinda Campbell

#5. Men’s Basketweave Scarf Free Knitting Pattern
“I love long, narrow scarves. For this scarf, I cast on just enough stitches to work a single balanced repeat of the Double Basket Pattern from Barbara Walker’s Treasury of Knitting, and repeated the 18-row pattern until I used up two balls of yarn. The interplay of horizontal and vertical ribs produces an undulating, curved effect that adds complicated texture to the relatively simple stitch pattern.” from designer, Ann Budd.
Uses aran weight yarn.

#6. Men’s Hatfield Scarf Free Knitting Pattern
Cabled scarf based on one worn in the “Hatfield’s & McCoy’s” mini series. Mirrored 3x3 cables with a braided cable in the center.
Size is 7” wide by 71” long. Can be adjusted to any desired length.
Uses DK weight yarn.
Designed by Lauren Sanchez

#7. Men’s Football Mosaic Scarf Free Knitting Pattern
This mosaic design features rows of staggered footballs separated by Doric columns. This scarf is knit using slipped stitches – an easy technique that creates textured, two-color results while knitting with only one color at a time. If you can knit a garter stitch scarf, you can knit this scarf. And it would look great in any team colors.
Uses worsted weight yarn.
Designed by Sarah Burton

#8. Men’s Dog-Walking Scarf Free Knitting Pattern
One would think the cable pattern reminded me of the ripples in a puddle. Or that this scarf would be perfect for a rainy day. But no. My dad asked for a “cabley” scarf for when he walks the doggies at night. And Puddles is one of those doggies.
Uses bulky weight yarn.
