The Half Windsor Knot
If you would like, you may listen to an audio version of this video.
This knot is a good blend of size, symmetry, and simplicity. Always appropriate for formal wear, this knot is a good medium size, and works well with practically any tie. Along with the windsor and the four-in-hand, this is one of the three most popular knots, and provides a very balanced compromise between the two as far as size and ease of tying.
