The Four-In-Hand knot is the most stylistically attractive and versatile knot to wear. It is stylistically attractive because the long shape of the knot lengthens the look of the throat area, and it’s slightly diagonal line gives an interestingly asymmetric effect between the two ends of the necktie; versatile because however thick or thin the necktie, it will give a good result.
Step by Step instructions on how to tie The Four-In-Hand Knot
1. Place the necktie around your neck with the broader end on your right. It must hang down lower than the narrow end.
2. Take the broad end in your right hand and move it left across the narrow end, holding the narrow end in in your left hand. Now pass the broad end around the narrow end.
3. Pass the broad end on around the narrow end so that it is lying on the left again. The shape of the knot is beginning to materialize.
4. Now pass the broad end underneath the half-formed knot, raising the knot slightly as you do so.
5. With your left hand, pass the broad end over the half knot from underneath, and pull the whole of the broad end through the front.
6. With your right hand, pass the broad end of the necktie between the layer of the knot which is now on top and the layer directly underneath it, and pull the broad end through.
7. Hold the narrow end of the tie firmly and slowly tighten the knot. Do not forget to do up your shirt button.
