How to Tie the Prince Albert Knot

About the Prince Albert Knot

The Prince Albert knot is a variation on the Victoria knot. There is no evidence to suggest that the Prince Albert was actually worn by its namesake, Prince Albert, husband to Queen Victoria. In the Prince Albert knot the active end is passed through both the first and second turnings. The first turning should peek out at the bottom of the knot. This slightly asymmetrical knot has a little more bulk than the Four-in-Hand but should be pulled tight to give it a slender & polished look.
