The following is brought to you by the power of
ASCII Art! It is a
representation of how to tie a
Windsor Knot, and is based on what it would look like when observing a
right-handed person tying one.
1. Pass the wide end of the tie over the narrow end.

3. Loop the wide end down through the "V" made by the tie under your
neck from the front, forming a
reverse-tie.

4. Now, pass the wide end back over the nice
triangle knot again.

5. Then back up through the "V",
this time from the
back of the knot.

6. Now finally,
thread the wide end down through the
loop formed by the triangle from the first
knot in Step 2.

Pull down on the wide end of the tie to
adjust the
width and
tightness of the knot, and then pull down on the
narrow end of the tie (pushing up on the knot) to place the knot over your
top button.
