The are 4 methods to tie a necktie:

1. Windsor Knot    2. Half Windsor Knot    3. Four in Hand Knot    4. Pratt Knot

4. Pratt Knot

The Pratt Knot - also known as the Shelby Knot - is tidy and fairly wide, yet not as wide as the Windsor Knot. It is well suited for any dress shirt and somewhat wider ties made from light to medium fabrics.

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

1.
1) Start with the tie inside out, the wide end "W" under the narrow end "N".

2.
2) Take the wide end "W" over and under the narrow end "N".

3.
3) Pull the loop down and tighten.

4.
4) Take the wide end "W" over to the right.

5.
5) Pull the wide end "W" up, behind the loop.

6.
6) Bring the wide end "W" through the knot and tighten gently.
