VIDEO: Tying a tie ascot

The so-called simple tie knot is an easy-to-tie knot, as the name suggests. The Windsor knot is one of the difficult to tie tie knots and the Ties-Plastron is in the middle in terms of difficulty.

How to tie a tie ascot

1. Do not use the usual narrow tie, but a cloth to tie the plastron. Place the necktie around your neck. Stand in front of a mirror. It is of course best if you have instructions with pictures or a video, but it can also be explained in words.
2. Cross the two ends of the scarf over your chest. Pull the end that is on top through the small loop hole that was made when you laid one end of the cloth over the other.
3. Pull it so far that it almost doesn't work anymore. Now fold the drawn-through end forward over the knot that has already been created so that the two ends are again at a 45-degree angle.
4. Bend the same end off in another cut, as high up as you can, as close to the top of the knot as possible, and back in the opposite direction. It's now over the other end. Its length must now be about half the length of the other end that you haven't done anything to.
