li n ication filed September 20, 1912. Serial No. 721,357.

invented certain new and useful Improvements in Knitted Neckties, of which the following is a specification.

The present invention relates to neckties and, more particularly, to knitted neckties, the object thereof being to provide" a necktie knitted with a narrow neck portion merging into a flaring or gradually widening end or ends.

A further object of the invention is the provision of a knitted necktie or scarf having-a narrow neck portion merging into a flaring end or end portions, each of which preferably of a single fold-or thickness, and which knitted necktie may be knitted of lengthwise ex tending ribs or wales so that when knitted of different colored threads it will have an accordion'or iridescent effect.

In the drawings accompanying and forming part of this specification, Figure 1 is a plan 'view of this improved necktie; and Fig. 2 is a rear view of the larger flaring end thereof, the opposite end being formed the same at its rear.

Similar characters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the figures of the drawings.

The knitted necktie 1 is given its iridescent etfect lengthwise thereof by knitting the same of different colored threads, as for instance a black and red or black'and yellow, or any desired differentcolors of threads which it may be preferred to use, the colors forming as it were alternate colored rows or ribs 2 and 3 extending lengthwise of the tie.

In knitting this improved tie the tie is started with a certain width in the machine,

it being started for instance at the end 4,

and by gradually throwing out of operation certain needles or stitches on one side itis knitted with one edge, as 5, straight and the other, as 6, tapered, see- Fig. 2, so as to hav a tapered or gradually widened end when the tie is properly made, as at 7, this taper continuing until the .neckband portion 8 is'reaclied, both edges 9 of which are knitted straight. In other words, when the ,tie is started for instance at the widest portion of the end 4: certain needles are gradually thrown out of operation on one side, vas for instance the side 6 thereof, thereby resulting in a gradually widened end, while the other side remains straight until the 'neckband is reached, when both sides are soknitted that the edges will be substantially parallel, and then to form the other grad. ually widened end 10 certain needles on one side are gradually thrown into operation, whereby the taper is gradually obtained until the wide portion 11 of the tie is knitted. The tie when knitted in the manner described is then formed up so that one straight edge and an inclined edge, as 5 and 6, will be brought together, whereupon the same are sewed along their edges, and where the straight edge and the flaring edge separate, as at 12, they are barred, as at 13, in the manner shown in Fig. Prior to the sewingyhowever, each end of the tie is cut and overedged to give the triangular shape 14. This overedging may likewise be vdone wit-h different colored threads .correspending with the body of the tie. When the tie is made up in the manner shown one edge, as 15, will be substantially'straight while the opposite edge, as 16, will be of tapered form, and this straight edge may be on the outside or on the inside. In the present instance the straight edge is shown on the inside, the edges 5 and 6, however, being brought together in such manner that the tie has a pair of gradually widened ends of considerably greater width than the narrow neck port-ion. As shown, each end of the tie is of triangular formation and such ends are of a single fold or thickness of" material. Thus it will be observed that this instances the wearer, should he be so disposedfcould use it with the wrong side out, the ends preferably being open and suit-ab] y shaped, and shown in the present instance as of triangular shape.

e claim as our invention:

2. A knit-ted necktie knitted with a. narrow neck portionnierging into one or more flaring end portions ench terminating in an open end.
