A modest version of the Windsor knot (the Half-Windsor Knot ) also exists. The size of this knot falls in between the four in hand and the Windsor. It works particularly well with lighter fabrics. In Ian Fleming 's '' James Bond '' series, the playboy spy remarked that the Windsor knot was "the mark of a Cad ." HOW TO To tie the Windsor, place the tie around your neck and cross the broad end of the tie in front of the narrow end. Fold the broad end behind the narrow end and push it up through the inside of the loop around your neck. The left and right sides of the narrow end, and the inside of the loop, form a triangle. Continue folding the tie over the sides of this triangle, rotating around the triangle in one direction. The eighth fold should again bring the broad end up over the top of the knot from behind; push the end down through the loop in front of the knot that you made with the seventh fold, work out any wrinkles, and pull the knot tight. If the tie is unbalanced, untie the knot and try again giving yourself more or less length to work with. EXTERNAL LINKS
