Step by step of how to tie a windsor knot

Step One
First of all, make sure that your collar is up, this makes it easier Take a look at the diagram on the left. W stands for wide and N stands for narrow. Take the W part of the tie and place it over your side you use to write. Allow enough length in the W side for the tie to reach your belt buckle. Cross the W part over the N part of the tie.
Step Two
Hold the point where W crosses over N and pull the W towards your chest and up between your  collar and the cross.






Step Three
Pull the wide end underneath narrow end and to the left, back through the loop and to the left again so that the wide end is inside out.




Step Four
Bring the W end of the tie across to the right.





Step Five
Bring the W end behind the tie and  back up through the loop.









Step Six
Pull the W end down and through the knot you just created






Step Seven
Using both hands, one on each Tighten the knot and pull it up towards the collar.




Adjusting your Windsor knot - If the W part of the tie is too short or too long, untie the tie and start again with the W part of the tie in a more suitable position. When untying the tie, follow these steps in reverse order.
