This elegant necktie knot never ceases to charm and gets the compliments pouring in. It helps if you are familiar with the Eldredge and Trinity knots. The small knot consumes medium fabric. It boasts of high symmetry when tied correctly.  The pretty simple skinny-end knot can be finished in just a few moves. The trick is to have enough little end to go through the loops.

5. Better suits informal celebratory occasions, but you may choose to wear it on formal dos as well.
