Is your husband hard to craft for? I’m sure that’s a common tale among crafters. The men in our lives are rather indifferent to all the hard work that goes into a well-crafted sweater, decoration or knick knack! Perhaps the most important thing is not whether they notice that you’ve made it, but whether they’ll actually like the item you’ve made. Sometimes getting them to agree to wear a beautiful sweater is half the battle.

Here are a few manly crafts to make for your hubbies and boyfriends.

Knit Cable Socks – Who can go wrong with a new pair of socks?

Wood Button Clock – Something for the office, or his favorite room in the house.

Crochet Body Warmer – A rustic-feeling crochet vest looks great on any man.

Cozy Cabin Slippers – Another great winter gift for the men in your lives.
