Weave in tail. Join Claret. Rows 10 to 14- 1 sc in each sc across. Ch 1.

Pocket- Still working with Claret- Row 1- Turn the corner and begin to work widthwise. 1 sc in each st across the width of the crocheted necktie (14 sc.)Ch 1, turn. Row 2- 1 sc in each sc across. Ch 3, turn (counts as 1st st.) Rows 3 to 10- 1 dc in each sc across. Ch 3, turn. After last row, fasten off leaving a long tail to sew with. Fold backwards, placing hte edge of the pocket on top of the 1st sc row across the width. Thread the blunt needle and sew pocket along this first row. Fasten off.
Join Claret to opposite end of the necktie. Row 1-Sc across the width as well. (14 sc.)Ch 1, turn. (each ch 1 counts as 1 sc.) Rows 2 to 11- 1 sc in each sc across. Fasten off. Weave in tail.
Now join Burgundy to the long part of the necktie (over the Claret side).

Fasten off, weave in tail. Join Claret on the opposite side, still working on the long side of the necktie, over the Burgundy rows and rep the last 2 rows made with the Claret yarn. Fasten off, weave in tails.
Five-Sided granny (Pentagon) (Make 2):
With Claret, Ch 4, sl st to join. Rnd 1-Ch 3 (counts as first dc), 2 dc in chain loop, *ch 2, 3 dc* rep from * 4 times. Ch 1, Sl st to nearest ch-2 space, ch 3 there.
