Pattern
Here is a modern take on a simple tie—a little four-stitch cable running vertically in the midst of one-by-one ribbing. This skinny tie is both modern and reminiscent of nostalgic looks from the 50s. The colorful cable is knitted into the tie using the intarsia technique. And surprise the cable disappears inside the knot at the neck. So, enjoy this rather playful pattern and create a fun tie for a rather playful fellow, stylish lady, or for yourself.

Yarn

A Bonus: Two Ties in One

Kit
This kit includes yarn, the pattern with instructions for all sizes, a list of all abbreviations and a glossary of terms. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on my web site. All in a backpack project bag.

Here’s an easy knit tie pattern you may be tempted to wear with several things in your closet. It is knitted in garter stitch at a tight tension for a clean, minimalist look with a  modern pop of color. The pattern’s evenly spaced decreases made in the middle of select rows are virtually invisible, so your finished tie has clean edges without evidence of the necessary decreases. And as a bonus, the two generous skeins of yarn provide enough yardage to create two ties, if you like, with the color sequence reversed. Knit one for your man and one for you!
