How to necktie - Four in Hand Knot

clipped from www.tie-a-tie.net

Four in Hand Knot

The Four in Hand Knot makes for a narrow, more discreet and slightly asymmetrical tie knot. It is best suited for a standard button-down dress shirt and works best with wide ties made from heavy fabrics.

1) The wide end "W" should extend about 12 inches below the narrow end "N". Cross the wide end "W" over the narrow end "N".
2) Turn the wide end "W" back underneath the narrow end "N".
3) Continue by bringing the wide end "W" back over in front of the narrow end "N" again.

4) Pull the wide end "W" up and through the loop around your neck.

5) Hold the front of the knot loosely with your index finger and bring the wide end "W" down through the front knot.

6) Remove your finger and tighten the knot carefully to the collar by holding the narrow end "N" and sliding the knot up.


That's it! That is all there is to the Four in Hand Knot. You will quickly learn to tie this necktie knot in less and less time every time you practice it. Just keep going, my friend!

Don't know how to necktie?

I think you short answer is: It depends.

I know that for me trying to learn how to necktie by reading instructions was both frustrating and ineffective. In early days having my father stand in front of me trying to teach me was frustrating for both of us. My father was no expert and I had to try and perform all the actions in reverse. This is ended with him loosening his tie and giving it to me still tied, to slip over my head.
