The "Nicky" is related to the "Pratt" and provides an excellent compact, medium sized symmetric knot. The "Nicky" is a very practical knot which can be used with most any tie.
As you can see, the tie is inverted (the seam shows) as you start. This saves us one loop.

In size, the "St. Andrew" lies between the "Half-Windsor and the "Windsor" but is more narrow than both. The knot is closely related to the "Plattsburgh"

This knot is identical to the "Four-in-hand", apart from the addition of another pass of the wide blade across the knot before ending. This gives a slightly larger knot.
