Yes, you got that right. Men crochet and knit too, and we are not kidding there are probably thousands of them out there who are crocheting, knitting or even tatting beautiful things out of lovely coloured and textured yarn. Men can do this just like you, your friend, your mom, your daughter.
As far as we know there is no bifurcation for any hobbies like cycling, singing, blogging, reading books or listening to music for that matter. We do not say that only females can sing or only men can handle a blog. Then what makes everyone think that men can not crochet and knit. There are so many benefits of these two activities that each and every person should do at least one of them.
Men are generally shy or they think these are the hobbies for a female. NO!!! that is really not the case and hence we are here today to inspire you (if you are a male and reading this) or your son, your husband, your boyfriend, your dad. Yes, all men out there check out this list of men who do crocheting and that too happily and willingly and some have their own small business too.
