Hi, Guys and Welcome to Studio Knit.
Today, we are going to KNIT a Men's NeckTIE for Father's Day!
Ties are one of the most popular Father's Day gifts. But this year, do not bore your
Dad with a store-bought tie. For under ten dollars, give your father a classic knit tie
made with love.
The Materials we will use are Size 8 US needles
Worsted Weight YARN Tapestry Needle
Scissors
It's always fun to team up with other Kin Community Partners and share their ideas with
you. So be sure to check out all of the great videos in this Father's Day collaboration
with my creative friends. Links to their videos are in the description below.
I have included a written knitting pattern for this men's neck tie, as well!
So, let's get started.
This is a medium sized to skinny sized tie. So, it's two and a half inches wide. And we
are going to cast on twelve stitches. That is perfect.
After we cast on, it's time to knit the entire TIE in the gorgeous SEED STITCH. To knit in
seed stitch, we simply knit Row One starting with the Knit Stitch. So we will Knit, Purl,
Knit, Purl... all the way down the row.
And on the second row, we start with the PURL Stitch. So we will Purl, Knit, Purl, Knit...
all the way down the row. And just repeat. The next row, we will start with Knit, the
row after that you start with Purl and you just carry on.
Once you get the hang of this simple SEED Stitch, continue knitting until your tie measures
21 inches.
Then, it's time for our first decrease row. Simply knit two together, continue in the
SEED Stitch, then finish by knitting two together. You will have ten stitches remaining.
After knitting eight rows, let's create one more decrease row by knitting two together,
continue in the SEED Stitch, then finish by knitting two together. Now we have 8 stitches
remaining.
Then simply knit in the SEED STITCH until your tie measures anywhere between 57 & 59
inches in length. And then Bind off and weave in the ends.
Let's add a fun KEEPER LOOP to the back of the tie. This helps keep the TAIL of the tie
in place. I had fun just grabbing some sparkly scrap yarn and I knit four quick rows. Just
make sure that when you sew your KEEPER LOOP to the back of your tie, to sew into the seed
to prevent seeing it from the front.
