Linka by Nina Holubcova is a skinny tie featuring a delicate twisted cable with tapered details, framed by twists.
It features twisted cable framed by narrow twisted columns along the edges. It’s worked from the bottom up, the short ends finished in half twisted rib and seamless tubular edges.
Selvedge stitches along the long edges create a neat finish.
The central cable motif is shaped with increases and decreases for a tapered, refined look.
The center cable is worked as a high-relief cable - the knit stitch columns are crossed together with 1 purl stitch on each side for a more defined, three dimensional effect.
The narrow twists on the edges are worked without a cable needle.
