In this video, I'm going to be showing you how to tie a tie into the pratt 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 Half Windsor Knot
1As always pick out a nice tie, no wearing ugly ties.
2
Place the tie around your neck with the seam side showing and the clean side against your body. Have the bigger end on your right & the smaller end on your left.
3
Adjust the tie which is now around your neck so the small end has 6-10 inches of length giving the bigger end a couple of feet in length.
4
Bring the bigger end under & to the left of the smaller end. Pinch the spot where the two ends intersect with your right hand.
5
With your left hand grab the now dangling bigger end and bring it up and run it down through the middle gap leaving it dangling on the left side.
6
Now, Wrap it in front and over 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.
7
Now go under up & through the gap which is between your neck & the tie knot.
8
Run the big end down the wrap that you just created around the tie knot.
9
Finally, 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.
Perfect, You're looking good!
