Laura's Loop: Father and Son Knit Ties

When it comes to gifts for my dad and brothers, I often find myself stumped. Thanks to Page's Rolled Hem Handkercheifs, their pockets are chock-full of squares; and thanks to years of knitting, their heads and feet are warmed by piles of hats and socks. In need of a new go-to gift, the Father Son Knit Ties were born! 

Now, my dad and brothers aren't fancy men, but they are gentlemen of the southern variety. They don't flinch at dressing up, and somehow even their "casual" is always quite pulled together. I think these chic and simple hand knit ties will be right at home with their refined style, dressing up jeans and a sweater or adding a kick to slacks and a blazer.

I made these ties with two gorgeous yarns, Koigu's Premium Merino and Anzula's Sebastian: one matte and one shiny for  textural complexity and both with a sophisticated polish that makes these ties special!  The Father's Tie is in reverse stockinette with a handsome stripe, and the Son's Tie is a sweet and easy Fair Isle pattern. Both are delightful to make, for dads and brothers or yourself! And, just in time for Valentine's Day! To make the Father and Son Knit Ties, check out the full patterns here! --Laura

I love these! I just knit a tie for my brother and really loved how simple it was, as well as how much of a statement it made. Knit ties are so it right now!

Oh the color possibilities!

I love the idea of a knit tie as well. I was able to cable cast on, but found myself stumped when it came time to slip the loops onto the other needles. I will try again. Sometimes it takes me two or three times before it clicks. Anyway, thanks for the inspiration. These are lovely.
