How to Tie a Tie: The Half Windsor Knot -- the simplest and easiest knot!
*Many websites have pages or links with illustrations on how to tie a necktie. These sites will also show several different
knots that may be tied, including the Half Windsor necktie knot, the Full Windsor necktie knot, and the Four-in-Hand necktie
knot.
*We believe that anyone searching a website on how to tie a necktie knot would most appreciate the simplest knot to tie.
*For that reason, the photos and instructions presented below will show you how to tie a simple Half Windsor knot. It is a very
functional necktie knot.  
*All photos will show you how the necktie would look as if you were tying your necktie in front of a mirror.
Step 1
Step 2
Neckties have two panels: a wide
panel (
W), and a narrow panel (N).

Raise the collar and place the
necktie around the neck with the
wide panel
W coming around the
left side of the neck.

Cross the wide panel
W over the
narrow panel
N.  

The wide panel
W should hang
past the narrow panel
N about
twelve inches at this step.
Pull the wide panel W
up and over the back
of the crossing point
made in Step 1.

Step 6
Wrap the wide panel W around
the front of the crossing point
(which is now becoming the
"knot").

Note: Keep one or two fingers
of the left hand between the
wide panel
W and the crossing
point to give you room to pull
the wide panel
W through  in
the next step.
Take the wide panel W
behind the knot, and go
up and over the back
of the knot, pulling the
wide panel
W through
the gap being held
open by the finger(s) of
your left hand.

W completely
through the gap,
pull down on the wide
panel
W to take out the
slack in the necktie knot.
