Stitches used: ch, dc, sc
Crochet Necktie — Symbol Chart Part 1 (Rows 1-9, narrow tip) Worked flat, starting from the pointed tip and widening. Row 1: start with a small cluster of dc/sc in a ring/foundation (start!) Row 2-3: dc fans with ch-1 spaces, widening the triangle; sc worked up the center spine Row 4-6: continue dc + ch mesh at the sides, sc block down the middle Row 7-9: rows of dc separated by ch-1, edges shaped so the triangle keeps widening toward the tie body Symbols: oval = ch, T with bar = dc, plus/cross = sc.
Notes
Flat necktie worked in rows from the tip. Korean legend: 사슬=ch, 한길긴뜨기=dc, 짧은뜨기=sc. Filet-style dc + ch-1 mesh with a solid sc center strip.
Crochet Necktie — Symbol Chart Part 2 (Rows 8-16, body) Continues from the tip, finishing the widening and settling into the straight tie body. Row 8-11: dc rows with ch-1 spaces (filet mesh) across the width; sc worked as a small diamond/cross motif in the center Row 12-16: even rows of dc + ch-1 mesh, straight sides (no more increases), keeping the central sc accent Symbols: oval = ch, T with bar = dc, plus/cross = sc.
Notes
Middle section of the tie. Filet dc + ch-1 mesh with a small central sc motif. Sides run straight once the body width is reached.
Crochet Necktie — Symbol Chart Part 3 (Rows 49-56, wide blade end) The wide blade end of the tie. Row 49-52: dc rows with ch-1 spaces (filet mesh) across the full width, edges shaped with inc/dec to flare the blade Row 53-56: continue dc + ch-1 mesh, then finish the tip; edge stitches (dc, ch) close the blade point Symbols: oval = ch, T with bar = dc, plus/cross = sc.
Notes
Wide finishing end of the necktie. Filet dc + ch-1 mesh; edges shaped to form the blade point. Rows numbered up to 56.
