Free Pattern......Little Man Bow Tie & Neck Tie Combo

I had the amazing pleasure of teaming up with a very talented Designer to make this pattern combo: BreeAnna Laub from String With Style. BreeAnna designed the super cute Bow Tie & was having it tested, when I said to her, "BreeAnna, I have a Neck Tie that would go great with your pattern! We should do a pattern combo to give people MORE FOR FREE!!!" Who doesn't like more for free, right!?!?

BreeAnna's Bow Tie caught my eye the first time I saw it and I thought "What a sweet & simple handmade gift to make for a baby boy!?!" There are so many things out there for girls, so it's great to have accessories for boys too!!

I love the simplicity of both of these patterns & the ability to customize both Ties with countless color combos - solids, 2 color contrast, or even bold stripes!! Both patterns have Cords that tie around the neck that can be adjusted for any size baby or child making this pattern great for Newborn & UP! You can dress up your baby without any hassle & he will be the hit of the party (or the play-group!!)
