This is an all-garter-stitch tie knit with more Sugar n' Cream yarn. I began at the skinny end. For the gradual increases in the front of the tie, I used the 'make one left' mode, which I learned from knittinghelp. [Basically, it involves slipping the connecting loop between right and left needles onto the left needle, and then knitting into the back of it]. Towards the bottom of the tie, choosing a way to decrease became a bit tricky; all modes of decreasing make some type of mark by slanting either to the right or the left. To try and even everything out, I used the slip-slip-knit method in the first half of every row (which slants to the left, or into the center of the tie), and the knit two together method in the second half (slants to the right). The result? A Neapolitan flavored ice cream necktie. Mmmm.
A very special thanks to our handsome model! :)
