This is the Atlantic knot. In my opinion it looks worse than the Cape Knot because it is less symmetrical. However it does use less fabric and looks slightly smaller. The video is mirrored for ease of use. Thanks to Christian Contardi for the pictures I used. He ties it much better than me.
Knot Dossier
Difficulty: Low
It is a simply skinny-end knot with only 4 moves. Skinny-end knots are easy because the big end is adjusted at the start making it easy to get the length right. This is probably one of the easiest knots to tie once you memorize the sequence.
Fabric Consumption: Low
It is a tie tied with the little end, and only has a few moves. Very little fabric is used. There should not be any issues getting enough tie to find the tie’s loop.
Symmetry: Med
One of the main reasons I like this knot so much less than the cape. It simply isn’t as symmetrical, which could be mistaken as sloppy. You will have to make up your own mind.
Style: Solids
This is a complex knot with many different fabric directions. The details get lost in patterns and paisleys and stripes fire in different directions risking pattern-shock. I recommend sticking with solids for this one.
Venue: Celebratory
It is intricate, exotic, and unsymmetrical which makes it difficult to wear. It is certainly not normal enough for formal events, it’s too intricate for casual wear, it might be okay for work depending on how comfortable you are. For celebrations it is exotic and fun.
Tips
- Good with contrast tie
- Consider tying the Cape instead
- Use solid tie to emphisize complex knot

I had high hopes for this one, as I’m from the Atlantic. Alas, it isn’t pretty enough for me. 🙁
Hi, may I a citation for the picture? 😉

Of course! I am so sorry I didn’t do this sooner.
This is my everyday tie knot…..Very easy to tie, gets many compliments.
I use this knot 98% of the time….I prefer it over the Cape Knot. Very easy to tie !
I think you need another step in your diagram, I don’t see how you got from Step 3 to Step 4… it’s very apparent that you kind of hate this knot and think it shouldn’t be worn!
Yes, this knot is simply worse than the Cape. Wear the Cape instead.
