This tie can be knit with a DK, Sport or Fingering Weight yarn. The pattern provides instructions for three lengths for the tie, which can vary from 57 to 63 inches. The widest width of the tie is 2 1/4 inches and the the narrowest width is 1 inch.

This tie is knit with DPNs, but can be modified to knit with circular needles. If you prefer straight needles, then purl all the even numbered rows instead of knit, and fold and sew the seams together.
