The Rose Knot is similar to the Trinity Knot but isn’t tied in the same way. It’s named because the final result resembles a rosebud. This knot would work great on a first date and even better at your wedding. Between this and the Truelove Knot, you’re set in the romantic-necktie-knot department.

As the Rose Knot is tied using the narrow end, begin with the tip of the wide end placed where you want the finished tie to sit.
