I was wondering if anyone knows of a self tying bow tie pattern. I've seen plenty of bowtie patterns that have the finished bow tie on an adjustable band. But, I want one that the man actually has to tie himself. Anyone know of a pattern likes this?

McCalls 4321 is one of those bow ties with a twist. You tie it yourself and then there is an adjustment and hook in the back where you don't have to retie it. The tie is cut on the straight of grain so it doesn't have the artful look of some ties. I think just a small adjustment in the back would easily take care of the adjustments.
