Tie a Necktie: The Half-Windsor knot is a medium triangular knot that is considered more

formal than the four-in-hand.

1. Begin with the wide end on your right and extending about a
foot below the narrow end of your tie. (Pictures are mirror
images, in other words images are what you would see if you
were looking in a mirror.)
2. Bring the wide end of the tie over the narrow (right side to
left side).
3. Bring the wide end back underneath (left side to right side).
4. Bring the wide end of the tie through the middle of the loop
(right side to left side).
