A quick glance and I can say that based on the color scheme, it is a perfect project for the special man in your life. The color scheme of this Relaxed Guy Throw is classy, very masculine. The recipient of this throw will really appreciate your efforts because it is a labor of love. Perfect gift for Father's Day, or dad or brother or son's birthday.

I love this pattern. Super easy and looks great. I made this one for my son and liked it so much I changed to the Mirage Camo colors for a blanket for our camper.

Yes I like this for a gentleman. In fact, I'm making one now, using urban camo yarn.

Sure, I'd make it. My husband loves to cover up with an afghan when he feeds chilly while watching TV.

I think I would make it, but like others, change the colors, also I would have to make it wider and longer.
