That "four-in-hand" doesn't seem to have any logic in the
name. And it looks like what used to be called a "Windsor" knot. Maybe after Eddie VIII. It's easy to do, and makes a symmetrial knot: Holding short end in left hand, long end goes once around the short end, then once around the long end, then once around both ends and down the middle in front.
Only a fool wears that kind of tie in a psychiatric hospital, where a patient could use it to strangle you.
