Step One:
Start with the wide end of the tie on your right, extended about 12 inches below narrow end. |
Step Two:
Cross the wide end over the narrow, then again under the narrow. |
Step Three:
Continue around, passing the wide end across in front of the narrow once more. |
|
Step Four:
Pass the wide end under the knot and up through the loop between the knot and your neck. |
Step Five:
Hold the front of the knot open slightly with your index finger to create a loop in the knot. Pass the wide end down through the knot in the loop that you’ve just created in front. |
Step Six:
Remove your finger and tighten the knot carefully. Draw the knot tight by holding the narrow end of the tie and sliding the knot up snug to your collar.
