How To Tie a TieOf all the knots, we feel that the
Four In Hand knot is practically the best knot for button-down shirts as well as
straight collars. Furthermore, the Four In Hand allows for that cute necktie
dimple that makes all the difference between wearing a neck tie and wearing it
well.
The instructions below will show you how to tie a tie and make the necktie dimple in step
five. The Four in hand knot is also very forgiving to the various silks in use today. Enjoy
making this knot and most of all, relish the final look of elegance.

Step 3
Continue by bringing the wide end "A" back over in front of the narrow end "B" again. Do not pull tight as you want the wide end "A" to ride along the narrow end "B" in a later step

Step 5
Now, hold the front of the knot loosely with your index finger and thumb and bring wide end "A" down through front loop. As you pull through, slide your index finger under the knot and begin to tighten the knot and squeezing the sides of the knot - this will begin to form the dimple

Step 6
Remove your finger from under the knot and squeeze the bottom of the knot to form a tiny channel right underneath the knot. That is your dimple. Now tighten the knot carefully to collar by holding narrow end "B" and sliding the knot up. Fluff up the two sides of tie under the knot on either side of the channel. This is the finishing touch to that tiny dimple with the fluffed up sides.
