crocheted bow tie

 

Ty deems this Nicki-made, crocheted bow tie his second favorite Christmas present he's ever received, and he's worn it every Sunday possible since he got it. Tight. Chalk one up for handmade gifts.

I'm kind of a slow crocheter, so it took me probably longer than it should have, but a seasoned crocheter should find it to be a nothin' job. You can find the pattern here. I used a rougher wool yarn, but for stiffness purposes you should probably stick to the silk wool as suggested by the pattern creator. Ty's requested many more. Next color -- blue.
