Gifts for him

Crochet for men gets overlooked, but a well-made wearable or an everyday piece holds up just as well as anything shop-bought — sometimes better, because nobody else will have the same one. Think beanies for the first cold evening, scarves, or a sturdy accessory that survives being carried around daily rather than kept on a shelf.

Maa keeps these pieces plain and useful rather than fussy — solid colours, simple shapes, yarn that wears well. If you don't see a colour that suits him, ask before you order; a lot of these pieces can be made in whatever shade he actually wears.

This corner of the shop is smaller than the rest, because fewer people ask for it — which also means it changes less often. Message Maa if there's a specific piece you're picturing and she'll tell you honestly whether she can make it.
