The discovery of all possible ways to tie a tie depends on a mathematical formulation of the act of tying a tie. In their papers (which are technical) and book (which is for a lay audience, apart from an appendix), the authors show that necktie knots are equivalent to persistent random walks on a triangular lattice, with some constraints on how the walks begin and end.
The small knot, also known as oriental knot, Kent knot, or simple knot, is the simplest method of tying a necktie. Unlike the Four-in-hand knot and Windsor knot, the small knot is not self-releasing. The small knot is tied inside out, though this can be mitigated by giving the tie a half-twist during the tying process.
Figure parts A–D show steps in forming a "short tie" Western Union splice. Figure parts E and F show two possible "long tie" variations. [2]The Western Union splice or lineman splice is a method of joining electrical cable, developed in the nineteenth century during the introduction of the telegraph and named for the Western Union telegraph company.

The packer's knot is a binding knot which is easily pulled taut and quickly locked in position. It is most often made in small line or string, such as that used for hand baling, parcel tying, and binding roasts.
There is a potential with beginners to wrongly tie the bowline. This faulty knot stems from an incorrect first step while tying the rabbit hole. If the loop is made backwards so that the working end of the rope is on the bottom, the resulting knot will be the Eskimo bowline, looking like a sideways bowline, which is also a stable knot.

Many methods have been devised to tie the fiador knot, [7] including fixtures used to hold the parts in shape while tying. [4] [8] More recent sources have shown a simpler method of forming the fiador knot using a flat precursor knot. [9] [10] [11] The following images show a method for tying the fiador knot:
