This necktie is, quite frankly, utter insanity. It’s an optical illusion — what appear to be lots of interlinked spirals are in fact just segments of zigzag patterns offset horizontally by one pair. I’d like to thank Kieran Foley for sowing the seeds that helped my brain grow this fruit. Many people have told me that the resulting pattern almost doesn’t look as if it was knitted at all.

This pattern is currently available only in Extreme Double-knitting.
