Steps to Follow
- Take a tie and put it on your neck. Make sure that you have kept its small end to your left side and the wide end to your right side. The length of the wide end should be 2/3 of the tie and the length of the small end should be 1/3 because you have to work by moving the wide end.
- You will see the wide end is on the right side. Move it onto the small end and thus, it will be on the opposite side.
- Now you will see that the tie is making a loop around your neck. Bring the wide end out of this loop by making a knot from below to up. This is how an initial knot is prepared.
- Now pull the wide end downwards softly towards the left side.
- Around the wide end again and bring it out from the back side of the small end. Remember it that this end was on the left side and you are moving it towards the right from the backside of the small end.
- Bring the wide end of the upside of the loop and move it downward from the loop. It should make another knot.
- Remember it that when you were making the initial knot, you moved it to the left side and now in the second knot the wide end should be moved to the right side. So there will be two knots seen in your tie around your neck.
- Cover the front loop by moving the wide end from the right to the left.
- Bring it back to the loop and it should move from underneath towards up. Bring it out from the backside towards the front.
- Now pull the wide end downwards by making the loop well-shaped. Pull the wide end until the loop is in V shape.
- Tighten it softly. Now adjust the knot, according to your collar by pulling the wide end downwards.
