Knit Bow Tie
I have had the idea for a while to make a pattern for knit bow ties. All three of my children were asked to be in a friend’s wedding. She had found the most amazing newsie hats at the Gap. I asked how she felt about the boys wearing knit bow ties and she loved the idea. Here are some photos of the bow ties. I will post more of the wedding photos when the photographer posts them.
BOW TIES ARE COOL! Need I say more?
He is obviously thrilled to be dressed up.
I matched the color-way (MadelineTosh DK Robin’s Egg) to the invites and the bridesmaid dresses. The smaller bow tie was for my 2 year old son, and the larger was for three and a half year old son.
If you don’t know how to knit I am happy to knit custom bow ties for weddings. Just email me for pricing mclaughlindesigns@elisajoy.com

I also crocheted matching headbands for the two girls to go with the bow ties. I am anxiously awaiting photos from the wedding because all the kids were adorable. After the wedding, since I don’t think my boys will be wearing their bow ties very often, I switched things up and made them into bow clips for Fiona.
I am also writing the pattern to include sock weight yarn with several different styles of bow tie. For adults as well as children. Here is an earlier style I knit up for my sister.
Stay tuned for more…

What kind of clip did you use? I’ve made some knit hair bows, but I don’t think the clips I picked would work well on clothes.

I used an alligator clip. You have to button the top button of the collared shirt though to get it to stay.

I love this pattern. And more than that, I L-O-V-E the Doctor Who reference. I thought I was the only knitting geek out there. Good to know I’m not alone. 🙂
