How to Tie a Grantchester Knot

1. Begin with the wide end on your right with the seam facing out. Start with it 10-12 cm (4-5 inches) lower than your planned finishing position.
2. Bring the wide end under the narrow end to the left.
3. Take the wide end in front of the narrow end to the right.
4. Take the wide end behind the narrow end to the left.
5. Wrap it across the front to the right. Use a finger to hold the band in place.
6. Bring the wide end under the neck loop from the right.
7. Take the wide end down in front to the left.
8. Take it around the narrow end from behind to the right.
9. Wrap the wide end around the front of the knot to the left. Use a finger to hold the band.
10. Take the wide end through the neck loop from behind and down through the band made in Step 9.
11. Pull down and adjust to an even shape.

We suggest using a longer men’s tie for the Grantchester Knot because it requires a lot of fabric. This knot is quite full and works well for larger men with broad chests.
