This dashing little accessory is a quick knit that is simple yet satisfying to work up. I designed this tie using a sport-weight wool blend yarn that has enough firmness to keep its shape and add some interesting texture to the finished tie. This is a great way to use up little scraps of gorgeous yarn you simply can’t bear to throw out or make useful swatches for yarns you would like to experiment with. I’ve included three sizes Small, Medium and Large (in parenthesis) but using different yarns and needle sizes you could create any sized tie you wanted! The sky is the limit…
Have fun!
