Designer Knitting Patterns

Here’s an easy knit tie pattern you may be tempted to wear with several things in your closet.

Designer Knitting Pattern
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, two skeins of yarn typically provide enough yardage to create two ties, if you like, with the color sequence reversed. Knit one for your man and one for you!

Here is a modern take on a simple tie—a little four-stitch cable running vertically in the midst of one-by-one ribbing.

Designer Knitting Pattern
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, or for yourself.

Designer Knitting Pattern
If you want the fun of creating a truly unique tie, Brad is the one for you. The concept for this two-colored interwoven creation is simple. The strip of the tie that is typically hidden behind the wider portion in front is showcased when laced through six small horizontal slits. The seed and linen stitches are combined with what are in fact extended buttonholes resulting in a tie that is fun to knit. The color change occurs under the collar, so the result is intriguing and the person who wears it ends up with a delightful conversation piece hanging from his neck…or yours.

This pattern includes a list of all abbreviations and a glossary of terms. It is accompanied by our proprietary StitchSaver™ Row Checker. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on our web site.

Here is a pattern with four designs in one. Both the tie and complementary pocket square are double knit designs.

Complimentary StitchSaver™ Row Checker

Designer Knitting Pattern
The CoBaSi blended yarn includes elastic nylon, which results in a very snug stitch pattern when knitted tightly. The results are ideal for double knitting and for creating a tie that can easily be tied without stretching and distortion. The polka dot pattern provides an even attachment between the two layers of stockinette. And the color pairing provides nice options for suits and for casual sport coats. The pocket square is the final fashion touch for the gentleman, or lady, who enjoys just a hint of dandy in their wardrobe.

This pattern includes instructions, a list of all abbreviations, and a glossary of terms. It also includes our proprietary StitchSaver™ Row Checker. Plus, a link is provided to Knitting Help on our web site.
