Finally, a new FREE pattern for you guys, and I made it into a cool, fancy PDF too!
So I was bored one day and wanted to make a bow tie, I looked all over for patterns on making one, but all I could find were patterns for pre-tied bow ties, and where’s the fun in that! So I made my own :). I thought, well since there aren’t any I could find, I might as well post one. You can buy one of these bow ties too, right here.
Here are some photos, scroll down to view and download the pattern.
*EDIT* 8/31/12
So here’s the free pattern for download via Ravelry.
Download the pattern HERE <—
Don’t forget to add this pattern to your favorites on Ravelry and Craftsy, pin-it and share it on Facebook too!!
Don’t forget, you can buy one of these bow ties too! HERE
Here’s the dealio, I want to be able to give all my patterns for free, and I would if I could, but I can’t. I can’t because it takes lots of time to make them and make sure it looks pretty, and I’m a student and don’t make a lot of money as it is, so here’s my idea, if you like this pattern please hit the button to the top right to donate a little something; you don’t have to (obviously) but it would mean a lot to me and show me that people do want more patterns.
Love this! I linked to it on my blog this morning, hope you get some visits out of it! http://www.mooglyblog.com/2012/06/11/fathers-day-crochet-gift-list/
Just found your site, and I love it! I might try to make a mini version of this for my son. Thanks!
I made a knitted version of this following the increases and decreases but in garter stitch and it worked! Thank you

how long do you make the Rnds 49-199 for a 15 1/2 inch neckline?
I think you would continue Rnd 49-199 until it equals 15 1/2 inches, but I'm not entirely sure. The best way is to probably get a bow tie that you know fits, measure it from end to end and make you're entire piece that long. It all depends on your gauge. Measure Rnds 1-49 and multiply it by two, then subtract that number by how long the bow tie you know fits is and you'll get the length of Rnds 49-199; it will probably be 15 1/2 inches (I think). Sorry if that just confused the crud out of you haha. I would be confused too. Let me know if that helps at all!
Thanks for the question!

thank you so much for answering so quickly!! i figured that would probably be the answer! i love the pattern thank you! =)
It's a shame that the service you are using, is now telling people that they have to be a premiun (paying) member in order to download a free pattern. Did you know that they "changed their policy"? I had a couple of grandson's that would have liked this.
AHHH!! I didnt know!! Thanks for telling me.. new link should be up in a matter of minutes. 🙂
I'm trying to make this tie as a surprise for someone, I know they have about a 14" neckline but don't know long to do those rounds because I'm guessing a little extra is needed to do the actual tying? Does anyone know how much extra I might need to allow? It doesn't have to be a perfect fit but I was just wondering roughly how much longer than your actual collar measurement that part of the tie would be usually (if that makes any sense), I don't own any myself so can't check.
How long is the bow tie if following the pattern exactly?
i am confused as to the Decrease part in row 2 please help
thank you so much you are so awesome!
We have a lot of Mensingers in the town I live in. My husband's mother was a Mensinger. The town is Camanche, Iowa. Do you think you could be related to the people here?
