Necktie #1: Sagogn
Overview
The Necktie #1 is knit flat in linen stitch from the inner part (back) to the outer part (front) of the necktie.
It’s inspired by the elegant simplicity of life and the beauty of nature in the Surselva region, where Sagogn is located. I wanted to keep a somewhat minimalist knit where the necktie shines through the beauty of each stitch.
Inputs
- Needles: 4.5mm
- Recommended length: 150 cm.
Instructions
All rows are knit in Linen stitch.
All slipped stitches are done with the yarn in the right-side (i.e., swyf on the right-side; swyb on the wrong-side). This results in small bumps on the borders of the tie.
Cast on 9 stitches.
Knit a right-side and a wrong-side row. You should start the first right-side row with a slip (not a knit). By doing this, when you increase in the next step, you’ll switch to start and end the right side rows with a knit, which means that for the longest part of the necktie you’ll be doing more knits than purls.
Increase row on the right side (output 11 stitches):
- KFB.
- Knit up to one stitch before end.
- KBF.
Knit up to two thirds of the total desired length, stopping before a right-side row.
Increase again to 13 stitches (same as step #3).
Knit until desired length is reached and bind-off in pattern.
