How to Tie a Windsor Knot - The Right Way

2. Now we fold the larger end behind the smaller

end and up through the noose. We are going to make

a loop around the small end.

3. Once we've gotten the larger end through the noose,
we bring it back down, across front and tighten that
loop we've just made around the smaller end. So far,
so good. We are going to be doing the same over the other side.

4. Fold the larger end behind everything we've done
and across to the other side in preparation to make
that other loop we need to make.

5. Throw the larger end up over the front, through
the loop and down again to make that second loop
around the noose.

6. Pull that loop tight. As you can see we have made
two almost identical loops around the noose. In some
places this tie knot is called a 'Bison' knot because
it resembles the horns of a Bison.

7. Bring the large end around the front to form the
face of the tie knot which covers up all our wonderful
handiwork so far.

8. Again we bring the larger end behind and up
through the noose for our final approach.

9. Then we bring the larger end down behind our
show piece in the front and tighten carefully. It's at
this point we can start to form the fashionable
dimple as we carefully pull the knot tighter.

Congratulations! You are now the proud owner of
