Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Tying this unique knot is actually quite simple. Begin with the base of a Windsor or Four-in-Hand knot. However, instead of putting the tie through the loop at the end, simply drape it over the knot.
What you end up with is this knot, named for the business magnate who married Jacqueline Kennedy in 1968. Which knot is this?
2. In order to create this knot, begin with a Four-in-Hand knot, as this leaves plenty of tie left to finish it off. Next, wrap the small end of the tie around the front and tie another knot in the back, which results in a knot that looks like the picture on the left.
What is the name of this knot, which is named after its inventor and its shape?
3. To create this knot, start by wrapping the little end around the right side to create a spiral, then around the left side to create a triangle. The next step is wrapping the small end around the front of the knot, and back around the back. Take the small end and wrap it around the right and the left again, making another triangle. There should now be a loop at the back of the knot that you can put the small end through.
The end result is the picture on the left, which is so named because of the back of the tie showing through. What is the knot called?
4. To create this unique knot, begin by taking the skinny end and making a spiral towards the right side of the tie. Then wrap it around the left side. Following this, wrap the small end around the front of the knot, and bring the little end around and through the front. The little end can now be put through the loop you just created in the front, and wrap it back around the back. Wrap the little end around the front again and place it through the top loop in the front of the tie. Tighten and adjust the knot and hide the end of the tie in the collar, and you will get a result similar to the picture.
This religious sounding knot is named such because of the number of sections on the tie. What is it called?
5. To tie this knot, start by taking the big end around the back of the small end and wrap it around so it forms a spiral. Then take the tie and go around the same direction, then across the front and towards the back, taking it back around the little end so it hangs in front. This is the same technique used to tie a Pratt Knot, but we aren't done yet. Next take the big end, bring it around the back, and back around the little end so the big end is now in the back. The final step is to put the big end through the loop that you just created in the back and tighten it up.
The result looks like the picture to the left, which is a knot named after a character from the "Matrix" series who wears the knot. What is the name of this knot?
6. To tie this knot, take the little end and wrap it around the big end towards the right, creating a spiral. Next, take the little end around the back and then up and through on the left side. Now take the tie around from the right side so you create a loop on the front of the tie, and go up through the left side and send the little end through the loop you've created. The end result is what is known as a Murrell Knot, but to get the result shown on the left, you aren't done yet! Now turn the little end so the seam is up, making sure you turn the tie counter-clockwise. Keeping the little end towards the right side, flip it up and go through the back. The final step is the trickiest - on the left, there is a little loop hidden behind two other loops. Send the little end through this loop, then adjust the knot and hide the end of the tie in the collar of your shirt.
While the knot can be incredibly difficult to tie correctly, the result is worth it. The name of the knot sounds like it involves soul mates, but it was actually named after its inventor. What knot is shown on the left?
7. The first step to tying this knot is to bring the big end (you'll be using a lot of tie, so make the big end fairly long) around the little end four times. The first time around forms the base of the tie and the other three form the layers. Then bring the big end of the tie through all three loops you created. It may be tricky to get it through, and tightening the tie can be difficult, but the knot is a great look when you have finished.
What is the name of this knot, which was named after its inventor?
8. Tying this knot takes patience, as the steps are different than most any other knot you will tie. To begin, take the big end and wrap it around the little end to form a spiral, but keep things loose or it will become difficult later on. Next, take the tie around the back and up through the middle so the big end is in the back. Make sure you leave these two loops loose, and beginning with the right side, feed the big end through both the loose loops. Now wrap the tie around the back and through the hole, and finally push it through the middle loop. Once you tighten and adjust the knot, you should end with a similar design to the one on the left.
Though some people think it looks more like a trophy, the knot gets its name from an astrological sign. What is the name of the knot?
9. To tie this knot, begin by wrapping the small end around the big end, and then take it up through the top on the right side, creating a wedge. Wrap the tie around the front of the wedge, around the back, and through the middle. Wrap the tie around the back again, and this time bring it out in the front and through the loop you created. Repeat this process to braid the tie, and hide any excess tie in the collar.
This knot, named after its inventor, is one of the most well-known specialty knots. What is the name of this braided knot?
10. To tie this knot, wrap the small end around the big end of the tie, first to the right, and then to the left, creating a triangle. Then wrap the tie around the front and through the middle from the back. Again wrap the tie around the back beginning on the left side, and feed the tie through the loop you created. Tighten the left side, but keep the right side loose, as you will be using it again soon. Take the tie and wrap it around the back on the left. The trickiest part of the knot is next; fold the tie so the seam is facing out, but do this about halfway down the knot so it creates two of the four quadrants. Finally, bring the tie through the loosened loop, and then tighten all of the loops and hide the remaining fabric in the collar.
It's a difficult process, but if done successfully, your tie should look like the one on the left. What is this knot called, which is named after the Greek word for unconditional love?
