Man crochet

So, I have taken a risk here, a very big risk, and made a crochet item for my brother-in-law’s birthday, not wanting anyone in my family to miss out on something made with love.

I had intended it to be quite long, which it actually isn't, and I didn't make it super wide, which I thought might be more 'on trend', but I am not so sure. I thought this rib-like stitch, in storm grey, would render the whole thing rather more 'masculine'. Do you think I will get away with it?

(I actually took these pictures yesterday, and then last night at church was rather closely examining the scarf of one of the more stylish guys in my church, and his is knitted but the stitch pattern is very similar, so I am now feeling like my scarf is uber cool.)
