No, my wife made me one when we first dated. It showed she cared enough to take the time to doit for me. 6 months later I proposed and we have been happily married for 30 years this month.
P.S.
I still have it and use it.

Okay, while I am not a knitter, i do crochet and have a few favorite! Since michaels is a fairly large carft sotre, I would think they would have these....Lion Brand Wool Ease or Patton brand wool. They are both soft and both work up well. Not like the cheap stuff with a lot of nots or with a lot of splices. I have used both and am a fan of both. Now for color, I would choose earth tones. How about a gray or a chestnut? Nav blue or forest green? If I remember correctly, Pattons has some nice grays, blues and camels. With a mans scarf, since most of them do not color coordinate well, neutrals usually work best and earthtones would fall into that category. What color is is heavy winter coat? What color is his favorite coat? Does he have a dress coat that he wears? If you could come up with a color that would either blend or contrast nicely, that would be the color to use. Oh, Pattons has a nice charcoal as well. Wool Ease comes in both the standard weight which is called worsted as well as the chunky weight. The thicker one is called Wool Ease Chunky and Wool Ease Thick and Quick! Hope this helps! i asked my girlfriend from work about a pattern and she suggests you knit a ribbed scarf with a knit two and pearl two. Since you are a beginner, look for an interactive CD called "Knitting Made EAsy" while you are at Michaels. I usually go to Joanns myself and it is $6.99 for one. It is put out by Red Heart yarn which is made by Coats and Clark. Joanns has a coupon you can get online for 40% off which would come in handy for you. Good luck with your project and I am sure you will hear from all of the knitters soon! If you have any questions, do not hesitate to post them. Enjoy!

If he is any kind of real man he should be very pleased that not only that u made it but the time and love that went into also, if not I think u better take a hard look at him.

No, it is a very thoughtful gift. This would be a good way to tell what kind of guy he really is. If he rejects it than he is not mature enough to be in your relationship. But if he loves it, he's a keeper.

Not ridiculous at all.It will probably mean more to him that you made it yourself.I made my boyfriend a cross stitch picture when he moved into a new apartment,he said it was the nicest gift anyone gave him.If you are important to each other,he will know it came from your heart.

absolutely not it is a creative way of showing your love for him, not only that, it takes hours to knit a scarf, great idea...

if it is cold out go for it but it all depends on the type of guy some guy wouldn't really like that but they would be nice and not tell you so don't make a habit of it

It'd be nice, but not all guys like wearing scarfs. depending on how old/mature they are.
