The Elldredge Knot

If you would like, you may listen to an audio version of this video.

This is the first thin-end knot that I learned how to tie, and is certainly one of the most unique. The Elldredge is good for making a statement, but may not be the best for very formal occasions. This knot uses a lot of fabric, so you may want to use a tie with thinner material if you have trouble keeping the knot small and tight. Sometimes I like to use two-toned ties with this knot so that the knot itself is a different color than the rest of the tie.
