The four-handed knot is one of the most popular tie knots for beginners who are learning how to tie a tie. Not only is it easy to learn, but it is also one of the oldest – British riders are said to have invented to tie scarves while holding the reins of four horses in the other hand.

This knot requires less than the length of the tie, making it a great choice for tall men trying to tie a tie of regular length.

The narrower shape is perfect for narrow extended collars and button-down collar dress shirts.

Keeping the triangle intact with your left hand, bring the wide end to your chest and from behind the loop, pass it over the X.
Using the index finger of your left hand, open the triangle that has now formed on the X and pull the wide end throughout.
To adjust the length, pull the knot up towards your collar while pulling the thin end of the fastener. You may need to adjust the horizontal loop to make sure it is flat and even.

With the four-handed knot, the Windsor half is most suitable for guys who are just starting to learn how to tie a tie.
