The Murrell Knot is often referred to as the reverse Windsor Knot because the narrow end finishes in front of the wide end (similar to the Merovingian Knot). Created by Brent Murrell in the late 90s, it’s important to take your time adjusting the knot at the end of the process. Spending extra time will ensure that the narrow end sits in the middle of your tie.
