Berroco's "Jasper" scarf is very nice, simple and very suitable for men. Knitty.com (free on-line knitting) magazine is a wonderful source of patterns as is knitting pattern central. I prefer knitty over ravelry as all knitty patterns are available on the site.

There is a nice scarf that newsable posted a picture of and how to find the pattern: http://www.knittingparadise.com/t-1069-1.html. Another "man pattern" is Wooly Mammoth Scarf which will show up if you Google it.

Not all Ravelry patterns are free and not all yarn companies offer free patterns. Many do but most certainly not all!
Well, I haven't checked every yarn co out, but all the major ones seem to offer free patterns: Lionbrand, Patons, Caron, Bernat, Takhi Charles, DROPS, Queensland, just to recall a few. Also, there are just too many other sites for free patterns all for the googling.

Google whatever kind of pattern you are looking for but don't get too specific. you should say "knit hat pattern" or "knit scarf pattern" or "crochet whatever pattern" and I usually add -crochet if I"m looking for a knitting pattern and -knit if I'm searching for a crochet pattern. As suggested, you should first take a look at Lion brand, Red Heart and Bernat and search on the sites. I thnk Lion Brand is the easiest site to navigate when looking for patterns and Bernat next. Red Heart has vastly inproved their site but pattern searches can still be awkward. Each site has a lot of patterns and they are usually rated as to their difficulty. You have to create an account at Lion Brand but it's free and I think they have nore free patterns than anyone else. You'll find other sites you like as you search. Bookmark them so you can find them again. Usually, though, I just Google but I also check Lion Brand and Red Heart frequently. Sign up for their newsletters and you'll get some great ideas. Caron has patterns and a newsletter as well. Google pulls up all the "knit hat" patterns available and will take you to other yarn manufacturers, blogs, ravelry, etc. Going to a yarn site and searching for "knit hat" will give you a lot fewer hits but you will know they are more or less what you are looking for.

deemail, I think most of us know Harry Potter. Certainly enough to make the author well-off. I only wish the series weren't over, but she ended it pretty effectively.
I would also add the word 'free' in your google search so you pull up sites that have free patterns. Some will have both, so you need to take the time. But have fun with it. You will pick up great ideas as well as run into many blogs on knitting or crocheting. Some of them are really fun and informative.
