How to tie a tie, The Half Windsor Knot

The half-Windsor knot is another way of tying a necktie. It is considered a modest or simpler version of the Windsor knot, and gives a neat, symmetrical, triangular knot. The size of this knot falls in between the four-in-hand and the Windsor knots. It is said to work better with wider ties made from light to medium fabrics.

How to make a Half Windsor Knot, Step by Step:

1. Situate the tie so that the end “A” is longer than end “B” and cross “A” over “B”.

2. Bring “A” up around and behind “B”.

 

3. Bring “A” up.

 

4. Pull “A” up and through the loop.

 

5. Bring “A” around front, over “B” from left to right.

 

6. Again, bring “A” up and through the loop.

 

7. Bring “A” down through the knot in front.

 

8. Carefully adjust the knot, holding it gently and pulling the narrower end.

The broader end of the necktie should now hang down further than the narrow end.
