The Windsor knot, also (wrongly) known as the "Double-Windsor" (a non-existing enormous 16-move knot), is the most well known knot in the world. The Windsor is a large, symmetrical, self-releasing triangular knot. The tie was named by Americans in the 1920-30's after the Duke of Windsor. The Duke was known for his fondness of large triangular tie knots, but didn't in fact invent this particular knot. His secret was a specially tailored tie with an extra thickness of material. There are four tie-versions that result in the "Windsor" knot; two self releasing, and two non-self releasing. This version filmed here is considered as the original (self releasing) version. The video is to be viewed as if you were looking in a mirror. -

This is not a "method", but a correct way of tying the Windsor knot. It is symmetrical. If you use less moves, then you use less fabric. Less fabric means smaller knot. Less moves also means that you are tying anther knot than the Windsor. I agree though that there are many more handsome, symmetrical knots other than the Windsor out there. They have other names though.

I think this method of Windsor knot tying is needlessly complicated, and will end up using more material than necessary. Some ties are thicker, and/or shorter, and will require a simpler windsor knot that uses less moves, but still provides a handsome, symmetrical knot (instead of a crappy asymmetrical, lazy looking four-in-hand).

Oh thank god, a video that helps. I tried learning with a page off of google, but darnit, reading it was distracting me from tying my knot.
