About the Double Windsor Knot

We’re going to let you in on a secret — the Double Windsor Knot is a myth. In fact, it’s nothing more than an incorrect name for the Windsor Knot. This error originated from a confusion related to the Half-Windsor Knot — specifically that you “double” the Half-Windsor Knot in order to create a (Double) Windsor Knot. Regardless of what name you call it, if you’re looking for a large, triangular knot that’s the ultimate classic, the Windsor is just the thing.
