From the mid 17th century, and to this day, the well-dressed gentleman has never considered his costume complete without some form of neckwear. In 1636 the cravat became fashionable – after the custom of the Croats or Cravates serving in the French army, who wore a length of cloth around their necks to protect the throat.
Today, the cravat is fashionable for men and women. It can compliment your outfit, provide a splash of color, and keep your neck warm. The Cravat is simple to make and simple to wear, this pattern is a fun and quick project - a great holiday gift for a person in your life.
This cravat pattern shows you how to make a silk cravat tie. This cravat is long with two diamond shaped ends and pleats in the middle to make the cravat narrower as it goes around the neck. It is a typical English cravat.
