Bow Tie (F2)

knitted bow tie

There's technically no knitting in this tiny bowtie, but it deserves it's own pattern just the same.

You will need:

  • scraps of yarn
  • tapestry needle
  • scissors

Pattern:

(A list of abbreviations is available.)

Either Finger Knit for 12 stitches or i-cord 12 rows on a single stitch.

That's it.

Making Up:

Sew the ends together to form a loop then squash the loop and sew the sides together.

Tug the two smaller loops into more angular shapes with a couple of stitches lengthwise through the bowtie.

Wrap the remaining yarn a few times around the middle to hide the join and replicate the bow tie's knot.

Sew into place on the body, below the neck join.

Notes:

Needle/Yarn Size

As with most ODDknit patterns the yarn and needle sizes in the "you will need" section are just a guide. Feel free to improvise with whatever needles and yarn you have lying around - that's half the fun!
