This is my first howto for cut out and keep. The reason I put this together is I went searching for a pattern, and only thing I could find was a million people asking for one so I decided why not just make a one. I've already made three ties based on this pattern and it turns out pretty well, the best thing to use is thin flexible wire or yarn, not stretch string. This is a short version, if you want you tie longer just add more rows of six. Feel free to take it into paintshop and color it in.
