Father’s Day is coming up soon, and if you want to knit something sweet for a dad in your life, now’s the time to start!
I have collected some great patterns for Father’s Day in previous years, but here are a few more ideas for you, too.
If the dad you’re knitting for likes coffee or tea, a knit cup cozy is a great idea. Here’s one from Knits’ End I shared a few months ago, but of course there are tons out there, such as:
- mug hug by Rebecca Gunderson (great stash-buster, too!)
- Mug Cozy by Twisted Fibers Design
- Cabled Mug Cozy from Knit Picks
just to name a few. Or stitch a bottle cozy such as the Root Beer Bottle Cozy from Random Heather or the ribbed bottle cozy from Laura’s Knits.
Red Heart has some great, easy patterns for Father’s Day knitting. Some of my favorites are the Men’s Mosaic Vest, Garter Stitch Neckties and the easy Slippers for Him.
Or try a laptop sweater from Just B Crafty. I actually gave my husband a Kindle Cozy the other day, and patterns for the old-school Kindles still work pretty well on newer versions. A couple of options:
- Sock Yarn Cozy from Aknitica (another good stash buster as it’s worked in individual mitered squares)
- Cabled Paperwhite Case by the Hixson Chronicles
- Wise Owl Kindle Cozy by Anna-Lena Thiel
And speaking of knitting for guys, we had a little mishap with our spam filter the other week when I was giving away copies of Boyfriend Sweaters, so go enter that giveaway if you didn’t get a chance. With the end of school and vacation, it will be a couple weeks before I catch up on giveaways anyway.
