The Perfect gentleman tie is just that! Perfect! I made so many of them and tried to perfect it so that it lays flat when knotted.

I made a gazillion (well maybe that’s an exageration) ties just to get it to perfection and I feel that all the work paid off!

You will need to know:

  1. Provisional cast on
  2. Decreses/Increase
  3. Three needle bind off
  4. Working in the round

This tie is a standard man size but it can easily be adjusted for longer or shorter lenghts.

Please make sure to block your tie as that will make a HUGE difference in the look of the tie. Superwash merino wool sems to work best as the stitches lay so beautifully flat after wet blocking.
