As you can see through the previous necktie knot posts, those tying methods are all based on the traditional style with a minor change. In fact, all the methods are just playing some tricks within such a small space. The non knot we introduce is a similar way as well.

Take a close look at the following demonstration and you will find the trace of the four-in-hand knot. The rules are that all the parts facing inside before are outward now. The hidden parts from the four-in-hand knot are all exposed to the public.

The key of this silk tie knot is to show the hiding parts to the others. However, it belongs to a casual style so avoid this knot in the formal occasion.
Have you try this tie knot before? It is fun and easy.

Following the introduction of cross knot and double knot, we take a look at the balloon tie knot.

In fact, the balloon knot can be regarded as a highly cost-effective fun way to tie a necktie. This way comes from the basic four-in-hand knot so it is easy to learn and the effect is significant. It can catch other people’s eyes from the unique knot.
Well, you could see that the balloon knot is that easy. Once you finish the four-in-hand knot, don’t pull the tie to the end, but rather deliberately set aside a part of the tie to form the balloon effect.

Take a look at the effect diagram and you are going to love this tie which is perfect for the balloon knot. On the one hand, the tie knot part is plain so the final knot is highlighted without disturbance. On the other hand, there are eye-catching patterns in the theme part of the tie so you can be seen from a distance.
Yesterday we introduced the double knot for neckties. We are talking about the cross knot today.

Cross Knot - Tie A Tie
As for the shape of necktie knot, most people think there is a certain fixed stereotype. Among the funny tie knots, they catch the attention through the challenge of traditional thoughts. The cross knot is one of the challengers.
From the above diagram, you will find that the cross knot is different from the others. The final tie knot is divided into two halves and the effect looks interesting. First of all, you should be absolutely confident if you choose this tie knot. It means you can withstand the contempt from others by the unusual ways of knotting. Second, the plain silk ties can do a better job for this knot because the knot itself is already too catching. The plain necktie can highlight the unique knot itself. Finally, the knot is different from the four-in-hand knot and how to make the stripe on the knot beautiful is the key to this knot.
The final effect of this knot is attached. A tie pin is also used but it seems few people use it in recent years.

An article on how to tie a tie was posted before. However, that post focuses on the how to tie a knot and ten ways are introduced. Here we focus on the details for each knot and what is the benefit for that knot.
Double knot is an easy variety of four in hand knot. Actually, it just adds one more around during your wrapping the triangle tie knot.

The only extra work is just one extra round than the normal four in hand. So the double knot can solve the problem if you have an extra long necktie. As for the aesthetic benefits, the key is the exposed wrapping loop from the underneath because of the double loops. It can add a bit relaxation feel for the serious dress code from the necktie.
