Sharing patterns, unless the person sharing it is the same person who created the pattern, is a copyright violation. Although plenty of people will do it, I'm not one of them. But, there are lots and lots and lots of wonderful patterns available -- FREE -- online. For some, you have to register at the site, such as Lion Brand Yarn, etc., but it's no different than registering here.

There are some great patterns that are cute and easy/fast to make, but a man wouldn't be caught in public wearing the scarf because it's too "girly." So, sometimes it's best to put in a search that you're looking for men's patterns.

Do you know how to do cables? If not, they really are easy, which is cool because you create something that looks so great and looks difficult, but it's not. There's a nice pattern called Irish Hiking Scarf that you can find for free online. You can also find a free pattern for the Palindrome Scarf. It's very similar to the Irish Hiking Scarf with one notable exception -- the Palindrome Scarf doesn't have a "wrong" side -- the cables are on both sides.

The Lion Brand web site also has a lot of free patterns for washcloths. All you have to do to make a scarf is just keep on knitting until it's the length you want.

Plymouth Yarn's web site has some free patterns. The Knit Picks web site has lots of free patterns.

Have fun knitting/crocheting!

I love the eternity scarfs...it is just one long scarf in which you fasten the ends together.Now you have one big loop. You can now throw that over your neck and then loop it around a couple of times ...looks fabulous. I have seen them crocheted and they are gorgeous...like a fishermans netting with fringe.. very stylish.

Brightonborn has a great suggestion, it's also called a "Moebius" scarf, greatly popularized by Elizabeth Zimmerman. Check your local library for any of her books, you can find the pattern easily.
