Haven't heard much from you since the last time I gave you advice, so I'll just point you to the search function.

you need a pattern? umm well euro 4in1 is ealy made into a tie. just use a diagnal taper every dozzen rows or so then increras the rows every row at the bottom then redecrament to 0. for the knot. you can use euro 4in1 on the bias tisted over it self. and then clasp it like a choker. never made one my self but that dose sound like a viable option.

If you look under articles there is a patterns section. Start there. I recall seeing something about ties and how to make them there.

Here are some patterns that i have made. Weave are Euro4in1 and Oriental double6in1 (12in2). Pages are in finish but you can try the google translator.

Small rings take a lot of time, but the result is staggering.

Yukio, those are some nice ties. I especially like the one with openings in it that allow the color of the shirt to come through. I was wondering where you found colored rings to so closely match your shirt before I realized that it actually WAS your shirt.
