Beginner knitting in garter stitch creates a colorful and playful tie and matching pocket square in this designer knitting kit.
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.
This tie may look like you accidentally dipped it into a bucket of brightly colored paint because that’s the idea. It’s a simple pattern that creates a fun fashion statement. Max is knitted in garter stitch at a tight tension. Evenly spaced decreases are in the middle of select rows to provide clean edges—the decreases are virtually invisible. And as a bonus a pocket square pattern is included. So when wearing a jacket this tie can be paired with a complementary splash of color in the breast pocket.
