Nicky knot

Necktie knot

The Nicky knot is a way of tying a necktie. It is a self-releasing version of the Pratt knot.[1] Like the Pratt knot, it is tied inside-out. It originated in Milan, Italy and may have been named after Nikita Khrushchev after he visited the city. The knot is larger than the Four-in-hand knot and smaller than the Half-Windsor knot.[2]
