Simple Tie Knot for Beginners
Here's a step-by-step guide using information from the video, which shows an easy method for beginners:
-
Start with the tie around your neck: The wide end (thick end) of the tie should hang lower than the thin end on your front side.
-
Create a loop: Take the wide end of the tie and bring it across the front of the thin end forming an X shape just below your chin.
-
Go behind: Now take the wide end and bring it behind the thin end, then pull it up into the loop that's near your neck.
-
Tuck Through: After bringing the wide end through the neck loop, you then need to bring it down through the front loop you created before.
-
Tighten: Now, gently tighten the knot by pulling down on the wide end while holding the thin end. Adjust the knot so it sits comfortably and nicely against your collar.
