Knit these wonderful accessories; straight edge tie & bow tie, an exclusive free pattern to download.

For a spot of feminine Christmas party glamour, why not knit the bow in shimmering Kidsilk Haze Eclipse (mohair, silk, polyester and nylon), to create an adornment for a bag, belt or head band (as pictured here).

Tie measures approximately 6 cm (2.5 inches) at widest point and 147 cm (58 inches) long.
