Tag Area:

  I wasn’t sure what to call this part. It’s usually where a tag is and it holds the smaller end behind the wide part.

I put mine about 11 inches from the point around row 34.

Join the yarn in one of the stitches near the edge, but not the very edge. Sc in same stitch and one stich next to it, ch1, turn. (2 sts)

Hdc in ea, ch1 turn. (2st)

Repeat last row until you are near the other side but not over the edge of the tie (about 7 rows).

Insert hook into first st on tag, slip stitch into a stitch near the edge of the tie, sl st in next stitch, going through both layers (the tag and edge of the tie).

Finish off and weave in ends.
