It is official, I invented my own knot. I call this the Krasny Hourglass, because it looks like an hourglass and my name is Krasny. The knot is actually a Four in Hand knot with an additional knot tied using the little end below the primary knot. The result is two knots facing each other, or a long hourglass shaped knot. There might be an issue running out of fabric on the little end to fit into the loop if you are a taller person. A tie clip, suite or vest can be used to secure the tie. Looks awesome with any tie design including stripes. Tell me what you think!

Found this knot works well and is easier if you start with the seam side outwards and pass the fat end under the thin end before crossing over, so creating an inverted tail. Then, you don’t have to worry about folding the tail later.
1st attempt successful. Great design for symmetry. I don’t quite see how anyone would have an “extra fabric” problem, nor a problem adjusting the neck size. Once the first knot is properly adjusted, the remaining tail of the small in should hide well enough on its own without extra manipulation. As a matter of fact, mine is laying neatly with the seam to the back as in a basic Onasis knot.
Great knot easy to learn….how do I send picture after I tie the knot…no pun intended…lol
Tag me on Twitter/Instagram @lexkrasny probably the easiest way.
If you had a long enough tie could you tie a third knot.
Works great with a contrasting tail!

I am a tall guy for my age . I really had to pull the long end down it wasn’t really short enough. Is this normal?
