How to Tie a Four-in-Hand Knot: Step-by-Step Guide

by Shruti Aggarwal 30 Jun 2024

The Four-in-Hand Knot is one of the simplest and most popular methods for tying a tie. It is narrow and slightly asymmetrical, perfect for standard dress shirts and casual occasions. Follow these easy steps to master the Four-in-Hand Knot.

 Step-by-Step Instructions:

  1. Drape the Tie Around Your Neck:  Place the tie around your neck with the wide end on the right side and the narrow end on the left. The wide end should be about 12 inches lower than the narrow end.

  2. Cross the Wide End Over the Narrow End: Bring the wide end over the narrow end to the left.

  3. Wrap the Wide End Under the Narrow End: Take the wide end and pass it under the narrow end, moving it to the right.

  4. Loop the Wide End Over the Narrow End: Bring the wide end over the narrow end again, forming a loop around the narrow end.

  5. Pull the Wide End Up Through the Loop Around Your Neck: Pass the wide end up through the loop you just formed around your neck.

  6. Tuck the Wide End Through the Knot at the Front: Pull the wide end down through the knot in front.

  7. Tighten the Knot Carefully: Hold the narrow end and slide the knot up to adjust it to the desired tightness.

  8. Adjust the Tie to Center the Knot: Ensure the knot is centered and the tie hangs evenly.

Tips for a Perfect Four-in-Hand Knot:

  • Make sure the wide end hangs lower than the narrow end before starting.
  • Adjust the knot gently to avoid wrinkles.
  • The knot should sit comfortably at the collar without being too tight.

Why Choose the Four-in-Hand Knot?

The Four-in-Hand Knot is versatile and works well with most collar types. It’s ideal for both formal and casual occasions, making it a great choice for everyday wear.
