How to Tie the Four-in-Hand Tie Knot – Necktie Tying



Here’s how to tie the Four-in-Hand tie knot!

Start by draping the tie around your neck, seam-side down. The wide end should be on your dominant side, with the narrow end shorter (1 to 1.5 hands above your waistband) on your non-dominant side.

Bring the wide end over and across the narrow end, then under and back, then over and across again, creating the front layer of the knot.

Now, gripping the bottom of the wide end, bring it up through the loop you’ve created at your neck, then bring it down through the front knot layer you created. The basic form of the knot is finished!

Tighten the knot by holding the narrow end and sliding the knot upwards, evenly toward your collar, adjusting as needed.

  1. A high school buddy taught me this one in 1984. This is how he described it and I haven’t forgot it in 42 years. “The squirrel goes around the tree twice, then up the tree and down the hole”.

  2. Thank you for the video! Loved it

    Not sure if it has something to do with the material of my tie, but I’m not getting the same esthetic look as you had in this video.

  3. Prefer the Windsor knot…a little harder to tie but I think it has a more refined/elegant look.
    A bad choice of material… the knitted construction makes it slightly harder to see the moves needed <it folds over on itself>
