Eldredge Step by Step Instructions

Love exotic looking tie knots? Then the Eldredge is the more complicated and more elaborate big brother of the Trinity knot. It is a challenging knot that most certainly will take practice. Don’t be frustrated if it takes a dozen tries. To make things easier on you, practice in front of a mirror and focus on one step at a time:

Lay the tie around your neck so that the wide end is at the desired length. This means the narrow end will hang much lower than the wide end. That’s because it is that part of the necktie that will tie the knot. Cross the narrow end over the wide end.

Wrap the narrow end behind the wide end of the tie.
