Goodmorning all. I know you are enjoying your beautiful sleep so i thought of dropping this here so that whenever you wake up u will be glowing with my beautiful bow tie.
This is a bow tie that i am making for one of my choir member. He just needed a differnt shade of tie apart from the usual bow tie, he needed something knitted with hands. And since i can make it he contacted me and i believe that once he receives this bow tie he will love it. I made it with so much love. Though the process was not that hectice but it was worth my time and energy.
I am just using the red wool for the bow tie.
Red wool
Knitting pin
Scissors for cutting
Ok so i will start by making a very long chain but not just like that without measurement. I made a complete eighty two chain long. Why because we will have
8hdc, 8slt, 20hdc, 8slt, 20hdc, 8slt and 8hdc then the lapse will be as a result of skipping one before the 8hdc.
Next i will turn to doing the first eight halve double crochet i will pass the first chain and start with the second chain and that will take the first nine chain.
At this stage i have started doing the next which is supose to be eight slip stitch and i will do this till i complete eight and then to the next one
I will start another halve double crochet but this time it will be a total of twenty halve double crochet. I will complete it and move to the next one
I will do another eight slip stitch and then another twenty halve double crochet
Next i will do another eight slip stitch and then eight double crochet to complete the first row.
At this point i will repeate the same process for the other side so that i can move to the next row.
Then i had to go another row so that my work will ticken and the bow will come out big a bit. I did not want it to be so big so that it wil be significant and different while he is using it so i did only two rows sorry my camara is not doing justice to the photos.
I had to make the first turning making the first halve double crochet and first slip stitch to reach the middle of the slip stitch. Then i will do the same thing to the left side of it. After that i will have the pictures below as seen.
I will used the wool to wrap in the middle of the bow so that it will stay in a place. So now i am done making this bow i had to make some photos of it to show the finishing.
Your bow tie looked great, I'm sure your choir mate will be pleased with your work and will stand out in the group.
It looks pretty cool. It is stylish, beautiful, and elegant. You did a great job! Good to see each step of making this.
