The Half-Windsor Knot is more symmetrical in shape and creates a bigger knot than the Four in Hand. This knot is very versatile and looks great with suits and a semi spread collar. It is a medium sized knot and produces a great dimple when tied.
First flip up your collar and follow the steps below:
|
Step 1 To start, place the tie around your neck with the wide end (blade) on the left side of your body and the narrow side (tail) on your right. It is important to have the small end reach right above your belly button and the wide side to be longer. |
 |
|
Step 2 Cross the wide end of the tie to the right over the tail to form an “X”. |
 |
|
Step 3 Wrap the wide end under the tail toward your left. |
 |
|
Step 4 Next, bring the wide end up and over the neck loop and... |

Step 5 Then through the neck loop and down to the right. |
 |
|
Step 6 Next, wrap the wide end around the front of the knot to the left. |
 |
|
Step 7 And bring the wide end of tie up through the neck loop.
|
 |
|
Step 8 Take the wide end up over the front of the knot and down through the loop that you just created.
|
 |
|
Step 9 Tighten the knot by pulling down on the wide end. If you want to add a dimple, pinch both edges of the tie in the knot while simultaneously pulling the the front end of the tie to bring the dimple through and tighten knot.
