How To Tie A Tie Series: The Pratt Knot

http://www.abcneckties.com
The Pratt knot is one of the few knots popularized to a general audience besides the four-in-hand and two Windsors. Fairly symmetrical and medium sized, it begins inside out, with the wide end under the narrow. Bring it over to the center, under to the left, over to the right, hold it, under to the center, then tie.

Inside out, wide end under: C L R H C T

"Inside out, wide end under" means the tie is reversed. The starting position is the wide end taken to the left, under the narrow end.
R and L: Take the wide end to the right or left
C: Take the wide end to the center, the area between the knot
H: The step before the last move; put one or two fingers in the knot, as you will soon need space to thread the tie through it.
T: Pull the end end through the loop created by the H. Pull the wide end to tighten the knot, pull the narrow end to pull the knot closer to the collar.
