Dress up with the Mens Classic Necktie crochet pattern!
A few months ago I was asked by a subscriber if I could design a classic looking mens necktie that they could gift for a special occasion.
I was delighted with the opportunity, and so the Mens Classic Necktie crochet pattern came to be!
This crochet mens necktie is easy to work using basic crochet stitches. In fact it uses one of my favourite stitch patterns: the moss stitch. The moss stitch works wonderfully in this design as it is not too thick, and the interspersed stitches mean that the tie has less of a defined lined appearance which can be the case when other basic stitches are used.
The tie is worked from the tip of the tie front (the widest end) and then is worked to the more narrower end. It is worked in a fingering weight yarn, but, as you will see below, you will make two sides that are then crocheted together. I really felt that after working the one side, that the necktie needed to have a little more weight and thickness to it in order for it to hang properly.
The Materials:
As mentioned for this Mens Necktie crochet pattern I used a fingering weight yarn. Shown in the photos is the beautiful Valley Tweed by Rowan. This yarn is a 100% wool yarn and features little specks of colour which give the tie a tweed look. Each skein has approximately 226 yards and you are going to need about 1.5 skeins for this project.
I have paired the yarn with a 3.5 mm (E/4) Birchwood crochet hook also by Rowan.

Repeat the above steps for the second side.
Join sides together and work edging:
Work through both thicknesses all the way around.
Rnd 1: Ch 1, evenly work 1 rnd of sc all the way around the tie. When working in the corners of the tie, you will wish to work 2-3 sc sts in the same space to create a more defined corner. Join with a sl st in the 1st st.
Fasten off, weave in your ends.
For the men’s tie, does the PDF tell me how many stitches I should have after each row? I’ve been following the youtube tutorial and the only time you mention the number of stitches we should have is after row 10. I just finished row 124 and I seem to have less stitches as I attempt the next decrease.
