This 1960s pattern brings together a smart selection of men’s ties to knit and crochet,
including a neatly shaped bow tie that finishes the set perfectly. The designs were
originally created in Hayfield Jewel Rayon, known for its smooth texture and subtle
sheen, which gives the ties a polished, tailored look true to the period.
The knitting instructions use No. 14 (2.00 mm) needles, while the crochet versions
are worked with a No. 13 hook in old sizing, with helpful notes included so you can
match them to modern tools without guesswork.
It’s an approachable pattern whether you’re returning to vintage techniques or
trying them for the first time, with a clear beginner’s guide to crochet included
to help you get started with confidence.
