The wide cease is folded behind the narrow end and brought forward on the opposite side, passed across the front end horizontally, folded behind the narrow end again, brought over the acme of the knot from backside, tucked behind the horizontal pass, and the knot pulled snug. The knot is slid up the narrow cease of the necktie until snug against the neckband.
