Tie a Pratt Knot

Looking for a stylish necktie knot that is symmetrical, has a medium size, and is very easy to dimple? Then the Pratt knot is the perfect one for you. It is a knot that is basically a half Windsor knot that is tied in reverse. Below are instructions on How to tie a Pratt knot.

1. Lay the tie around your neck with the inside of the tie facing outwards – meaning that the inner stitching should be visible. Also, make sure that the wide end of the tie hangs quite a bit below the slim end of the necktie.
2. After crossing the wide end of the tie under the narrow end loop the wide end around the part coming from your neck.
3. Pull the first wrapping tight and pull the wide end of the tie towards the center. The stitching should still be visible at the front.
4. Now pull the wide end over the narrow end but don’t pull tight. The front of the knot should be showing for the first time.
5. Now pull the wide end back towards the loop on the neck and pull through the loop on the front.
6. Pull the knot tight and give it some final adjustment. Chances are the knot already has a dimple. If it does not then give the tie a little pinch right before tightening.
