Four in Hand Knot
The Four in Hand Knot makes for a narrow, more discreet and slightly asymmetrical tie knot. It is best suited for a standard button-down dress shirt and works best with wide ties made from heavy fabrics. While this tie knot can be worn by anyone, it looks especially well on men with shorter necks as the knot's rather narrow and elongated form stretches the perceived height of the neck a tiny bit.

To tie the Four in Hand Knot, select a tie of your choice and stand in front of a mirror. Then simply follow the steps below:

		Step 1. The wide end "A" should extend about 12 inches below narrow end "B". Cross wide end "A" over narrow end "B".

		Step 2. Turn wide end "A" back underneath narrow end "B".

		Step 3. Continue by bringing wide end "A" back over in front of narrow end "B" again.

		Step 4. Pull wide end "A" up and through the loop around your neck.

		Step 5. Hold the front of the knot loosely with your index finger and bring wide end "A" down through front loop.

		Step 6. Remove finger and tighten knot carefully to collar by holding narrow end "B" and sliding the knot up.
