In this video, I'm going to be showing you how to tie a tie into the four in hand knot. I've also included a step by step guide with pictures below. Once you master this knot, we can move on to How to Tie a Tie: The Pratt Knot

1Pick out a nice power tie. (usually power ties are red)

2Place the tie around your neck with the seam side against your body so the clean side of the tie is showing.  Have the bigger end on your right & the smaller end on your left.

3Adjust the tie which is now around your neck so the small end has 6-10 inches of length giving the bigger end a couple feet of length.

4Bring the bigger end over & to the left of the smaller end. Pinch the spot where the two ends intersect with your left hand.

5Wrap the big end behind the tie knot (and your hand which is piching the knot), going from left to right. The big end is now on the right side of the smaller end.

6Bring the big end of the tie up to your eye level.

7Run the big end over the knot going from right to left. Let it hang down on the left side of the knot.

8Now go up & through the gap which is between your neck & the tie knot.

9Run the big end down the wrap that you just created around the tie knot.

10Finally, cinch the tie by pulling down on the big end of the tie while holding the knot in place, then move the knot up to your neck by pulling down on the small end of the tie while helping the knot up with your other hand.
