Pratt Knot - The new knot on the block
A tie knot with a twist!
Tying Pratt knots is easier than it looks once you get past the fact that you start off with the tie flipped around. The narrow end of the tie will stay inside out when the knot is completed unless you twist this end around to the correct side before tightening the tie knot. When completed the Pratt is a clean and fairly wide knot although it’s not as wide as the Windsor knot.
Okay let’s practice the Pratt knot. Stand in front of your mirror and follow the instructions below. Remember practice makes perfect knots!






Were you successful with the Pratt Knot? Great! If not, keep trying. When completed, the ends of the tie should be of equal length or the wide end of the tie should be a bit longer than the narrow end.
Remember that if you don’t want the tie seam of the narrow end to show you must give it a half turn before knotting the tie.
