I would like to knit something for my boyfriend #9829;A#9829;. I started with a scarf but he is never ever cold, not even in a very cold winter duh. SO any other ideas for something to make for a man? Other than a scarf, hat, socks or gloves. 
Prefer crochet but knitting is fine too.
PLEASE I need ideas

Cell phone/ipod cozy? You could knit and felt it. Design your own!

Scarfs can be decorative too!! A scarf to hang around his neck, you know hanging down on either side, not wrapped around, would look very nice! I say go ahead and finish the scarf, I have a feeling you will see him wearing it! ;)

I have made throw pillows for men and they love them. Pick out a color that goes with his living room furniture. Knitting would work and so would crochet. You could have the back side regular fabric to make it easier.

I agree with Linda - I made my two sons (twenty somthing ages) crocheted throw pillows with also a matching throw blanket. Both tell me they love curling up with them while watching a movie or reading a good book. Both are outdoor nuts so a great skull cap also was on the gift giving. One year I lockerhooked but you could crochet a great rug for their feet to touch as they crawl out of bed. Another idea is a messanger bag. I crocheted mine then felted it. Added a small bike gear as the closure and a great one of kind gift that they can use everyday... Good luck

I made my husband a knitted cover for his side of the bed. He uses it every night. I used broomstick (vrey large) knitting needles, and two yarns together, so it knitted up really quickly. I did it in "man cave" colors, and mixed some of my hand spun and some chunky store bought. Every man gets cold at night after his body temp falls. It's a good bet!! Merry Christmas!!

Thanks gals. I think I will stick with the scarf for now. Don't know him too well yet, lol. And indeed a scarf is also a nice thing to wear loose.
Thanks again for the ideas and will keep them in mind for later reference ;)

Duthcy,
I once made a case for my daughter's eye glasses - silk lining a little batting and some nice soft leather from an old purse of mine.
She used it for a while and then quit wearing her glasses so I used it for a couple of years and now my husband has his sun glasses in it. Very easy!
