I'll break them down into three categories: Miscellaneous, Home Decor, and Accessories. Let’s discover some delightful crochet pieces to make for Dad!
Miscellaneous:
If your dad is a fan of drinking a cold one on a hot summer day, this can cozy by Spotted Horse Design would be perfect to make.

Or, if your dad is a fan of golf, you could make the golf club covers by Lion Brand. This pattern is at an intermediate level, as you need to be comfortable with working the sc2tog stitch. To create it, you make it in two sections: first the ribbing, and then you work the tube cover in the round on one end of the tube. And this pattern is available for free on the Lion Brand website.
Mustache Jar Cozy by Yarnovations, see the pattern here.
Or, make these cute mustache jar cozies by Yarnovations. These are really easy to make and are a great stash buster for any leftover yarn you have lying around from other projects.

I also really liked these Super Dad mug cozies by Hooked on Patterns. They are so cute and very beginner-friendly to make. The pattern is available in US terms and includes a conversion chart with UK terms. The finished wrap measures 8 cm (3 inches) high by 25 cm (10 inches) long.

First is this fun Best Dad Ever Graphgan pattern by Pretty Things by Katja. This one is intermediate level, as you need to be comfortable with reading charts. The graph is 130 by 150 squares, and the finished size will depend on the hook size, your tension, the yarn, and the techniques you use. You can use cross stitch, the tapestry method, or even Tunisian crochet for this piece.
This pattern would be perfect to turn into a pillow or blanket. It is available as a paid pattern on their Etsy shop.
Football Lover Blanket by Yarnspirations, see the pattern here.
Or, make the Football Lover Blanket by Yarnspirations. This blanket measures about 52 by 60 inches (132 by 152.5 cm) and is a bit more repetitive, and made with two different colors.

Couch Caddy by The Underground Hooker, see the pattern here.
If your dad really loves watching the game on the couch, this couch caddy could also be a nice addition. It’s easy to make and customize as you like. I appreciate how repetitive this one is, and they used two strands of medium worsted weight yarn held together to make it, so it worked up quite quickly. This pattern is available for free on their blog post.
Record Coasters by The Underground Hooker, see the pattern here.
You can also make these Record Coasters by Baroque Purls. This pattern is made in the round and would be perfect if your dad loves music. It’s quite beginner-friendly and would make a great little gift, easy to customize the size. This pattern is available for free on their blog post.

Crochet Socks by Lion Brand, see the pattern here.
Or make your dad some cozy crochet socks like this pattern by Lion Brand. The special stitches used are the extended single crochet, fdc, ptr, and sc2tog. These socks are worked from the cuff downwards, with the cuff and leg worked in rounds down to the heel. Then, the heel is worked back and forth in rows.
