The Sock Whisperer's Guide to Four-in-Hand Knots

Step 1: Gather Your Socks

You'll need two socks. Any two. They don't even have to match. We're not judging.

But seriously, get the right socks. You don't want to be stuck with a bunch of holey, mismatched mess.

For this example, we're using a fetching pair of plaid socks with a hint of sophistication.

Cross the socks over each other, making sure the right sides are facing the right direction.

Don't worry, it's not as complicated as it sounds. Just think of it like you're giving each sock a little hug.

Or, you know, like you're trying to strangle each other.

Loop the top sock through the hole at the bottom of the other sock.

Think of it like you're giving the top sock a little hand up.

Pull the top sock through the hole to create the knot.

And voila! You've got yourself a neat little four-in-hand knot.

Note: Practice makes perfect. Or, you know, just practice until you get it right.

Also, don't blame us if you end up with a bunch of knots.

Or if you get tangled up in a knot of despair.

Okay, fine. Just don't come crying to us.
