How
To Tie
The Four In Hand Knot
And Animation
Our
favorite necktie knot is the Four in Hand. The reason we love this
knot is because it's easy to make in just 5 easy steps and it produces a
wonderful necktie dimple!
Shown below are instructions on how to make the Four In Hand knot.
How
To Tie
The Four In Hand
Necktie Knot

|

|
Step 1
Start
with the wide end "A" and extend it about 12 inches
below narrow end "B". Now cross the wide end
"A" over narrow end "B".

|
|

|
Step 2
Now,
turn the wide end "A" back underneath the narrow end
"B".
|
|

|
Step 3
Continue
by bringing the wide end "A" back over in front of the
narrow end "B" again. Do not pull tight as you want
the wide end "A" to ride along the narrow end
"B" in a later step.
|
|

|
Step 4
Now,
pull the wide end "A" up, behind, and through the loop
around your neck.
|
|

|
Step 5
Now,
hold the front of the knot loosely with your index finger and
thumb and bring wide end "A" down through front loop.
As you pull through, slide your index finger under the knot and
begin to tighten the knot and squeezing the sides of the knot -
this will begin to form the dimple.

Tie Dimple

Step 6
Remove
your finger from under the knot and squeeze the bottom of the
knot to form a tiny channel right underneath the knot. That is
your dimple. Now tighten the knot carefully to collar by holding
narrow end "B" and sliding the knot up. Fluff up the
two sides of tie under the knot on either side of the channel.
This is the finishing touch to that tiny dimple with the fluffed
up sides.

We
hope that the above illustration helps - this knot is a little
more complex, but a wonderful one to have in your arsenal of
knots. Now that you have a fairly good idea on how to tie
a tie - go out and purchase one or two neckties to wear.
