I’d like to introduce this free crochet men’s tie pattern! It’s a textured, woven-look tie, worked in fingering weight yarn with a 3mm hook, using the herringbone double crochet stitch. It measure 60 inches (152 cm) long and 4 inches (10 cm) at its widest point. It’s an easy-level projects that takes around 10 hours to make, and there’s a video tutorial to help you get started.
I wanted to design a handmade gift for men that looked properly smart. The herringbone double crochet makes a gorgeous fabric with a gentle diagonal texture, which gives this free crochet men’s tie pattern the look of a shop bought woven tie. The written pattern is below and I’ve also linked a separate tutorial for the stitches in case you’d like to practise first.

What Special Crochet Stitches are Used to Make this Easy Crochet Tie?
Herringbone Double Crochet Stitch
- Yarn over and insert hook into next chain or stitch.
- Yarn over and pull through a loop.
- Immediately pull through the next loop on hook as well.
- Yarn over and pull through 1 loop*.
- Yarn over and pull through remaining 2 loops on hook.
- To make more stitches, repeat steps 1 to 5 across the row.
Watch a video tutorial of the herringbone double crochet stitch.
Stacked Double Crochet
The stacked dc is a lovely alternative to a turning chain. It creates a cleaner, straighter edge for your crochet projects without gaps or uneven edges.
- Insert your hook straight into the very first st of the row/round without chaining first.
- Yarn over and pull through, then yarn over and pull through 2 (completing a single crochet).
- Insert your hook now into the vertical bar of the single crochet st that is furthest from your hook side.
- Yarn over and pull through, then yarn over and pull through 2 (completing a stacked double crochet).
Watch how to make the stacked double crochet.
Stacked double crochet and herringbone double crochet together
This st is used at the start of a row in this pattern.
- After turning your work, make a single crochet in the first st.
- Insert your hook into the vertical bar of the single crochet st that is furthest from your hook side (as above), yarn over and pull through a loop.
- Next yarn over and insert your hook into the next st, yarn over and pull through a loop.
- Immediately pull through the next loop on hook as well.
- Yarn over and pull through 1 loop.
- Yarn over and pull through remaining 3 loops on hook.
Foundation Double Crochet
A foundation dc allows you to create that first row of your project without using a chain.
- Start with a slipknot and ch3 (this does not count as a stitch).
- Yarn over and insert hook in third ch from hook and pull through a loop.
- Yarn over and pull through one loop (this makes the chain part of your first Foundation dc).
- (Yarn over and pull through 2 loops on your hook) twice – this makes the dc part of your first Foundation dc.
- Yarn over and insert your hook into the chain part of the previous stitch, going through the two top ‘v’ shape strands of the chain.
- Yarn over and pull through one loop (this makes the chain part of the Foundation dc).
- (Yarn over and pull through 2 loops on your hook) twice – this makes the dc part of the Foundation dc.
- Repeat steps 5 to 7 across the row.
You can watch a video of the foundation double crochet here.
Pattern Notes
Be sure to read through these notes before you start your crochet tie — they’ll make the pattern much easier to follow.
- Read through the pattern completely before starting and refer to the stitch tutorials as needed.
- ch1 does not count as a stitch.
- Stitch counts are given in [ ] at the end of a row. Where there is no st count, it is the same as the previous row.
- At the end of row 8, we stop increasing stitches and create the 3rd point of the tie end. At this point, place a stitch marker, so that you know where to put the edging corner later.
- Change colour every 2 rows to create the striped effect.
Changing Colour at the End of a Row
- Work the final stitch before the colour change until the last yarn over.
- Instead of completing the stitch with the current colour, yarn over with the new colour.
- Pull the new colour through to complete the stitch.
- Continue with the new colour.
- Because the colour switch happens during the final step of the previous stitch, the new stitch appears fully formed in the correct shade.

FAQs About This Easy Crochet Men’s Tie Pattern
A: Any fingering weight yarn works for this pattern, as long as your tension matches. A smooth, round yarn will show off the herringbone texture best, and choosing a washable fibre makes the tie easier to look after.
A: You will need approximately 155 yards of each of the two colours to crochet the tie, but make sure to order plenty.
A: This tie takes around 10 hours to make, so it suits a few quiet evenings or a weekend of crocheting. However, timings vary depending on pace. The herringbone rows take a little longer than plain double crochet, but they build up quickly once you’ve found your rhythm.
A: It’s an easy-level pattern that uses just two stitches, foundation double crochet and herringbone double crochet. There’s a video tutorial for the tie and a separate short tutorial for each stitch, and so you can practise before you begin.
The tie is made with foundation double crochet and herringbone double crochet, written in US terms. In UK terms, these are foundation treble crochet and herringbone treble crochet.
