The four-in-hand knot is a great look for any occasion. From formal suits to casual jacket and tie affairs, it’s a simple way to quickly look great. Once you have mastered the knot you can tie it in just a minute, so it’s also great when you’re in a pinch too.
Necessary Items:
A tie
A collared Shirt
A mirror
Tools:
Wine Glass
Iron
Part 1
 
Preparations
Button your shirt how you’d like to wear it, then drape the tie around your neck.
Make the thick end about 1/3rd longer than the short end.
For formal button down shirts, it usually works best with the small end of the tie between 4th and 5th button.
 
The creases created up until this point will be guiding lines for creating the four walls of your planter box.
Thinset and other adhesives set quickly so make sure to work in a small area.
Lift one side at a 90-degree angle, and fold it in place so that the point on the paper matches the other two points already in the center.
 
Crossing once
Cross the long end over the short end. This will form the basis for your knot.
Repeat on the other side.
Part 2
 
 
Second crossing
Bring the long end back under the short end, then throw it back over the top of the short end in the other direction.
 
Once mixed, let it stand for a few minutes before mixing it again. This time do not add more water. Double check your thin-set mortar instructions to make sure the consistency is right.
 
 
Loop in
Now pull the long end through the loop near your neck, forming another loop near your neck.
 
Pull and tighten
Pull the long end through that new loop and tighten to fit!
