Abstract
We extend the existing enumeration of neck tie knots to include tie knots with a textured front,
tied with the narrow end of a tie. These tie knots have gained popularity in recent years, based on
reconstructions of a costume detail from The Matrix Reloaded, and are explicitly ruled out in the
enumeration by Fink and Mao (2000).
We show that the relaxed tie knot description language that comprehensively describes these extended
tie knot classes is either context sensitive or context free. It has a sub-language that covers all the knots
that inspired the work, and that is regular. From this regular sub-language we enumerate 177 147 distinct
tie knots that seem tieable with a normal necktie. These are found through an enumeration of 2 046
winding patterns that can be varied by tucking the tie under itself at various points along the winding.
 1

I. I NTRODUCTION
There are several different ways to tie a necktie. Classically, knots such as the four-in-hand, the half
windsor and the full windsor have been commonly taught to new tie-wearers. In a sequence of papers and
a book, Fink and Mao [1–3] defined a formal language for describing tie knots, encoding the topology and
geometry of the knot tying process into the formal language, and then used this language to enumerate
all tie knots that could reasonably be tied with a normal-sized necktie.
The enumeration of Fink and Mao crucially depends on dictating a particular finishing sequence for
tie knots: a finishing sequence that forces the front of the knot – the façade – to be a flat stretch of
fabric. With this assumption in place, Fink and Mao produce a list of 85 distinct tie knots, and determine
several novel knots that extend the previously commonly known list of tie knots.
In recent years, however, interest has been growing for a new approach to tie knots. In The Matrix
Reloaded [12], the character of “The Merovingian” has a sequence of particularly fancy tie knots. Attempts
by fans of the movie to recreate the tie knots from the Merovingian have led to a collection of new tie
knot inventions, all of which rely on tying the tie with the thin end of the tie – the thin blade. Doing this
allows for a knot with textures or stylings of the front of the knot, producing symmetric and pleasing
patterns.
Knorr [4] tells the story of the main participants and their additions to the conversation:
On 21 June 2003 Luke edeity Housego invents the inverse tie-knots. The day before he
had seen ‘Matrix Reloaded’ at the cinema and wanted to have a tie-knot as cool as the one
the character ‘Merovingian’ sports in the movie.
On 28 September 2003 Luke publishes a .pdf-tutorial for his knot on the Internet. He calls
his invention ‘edeity’s knot.’
On 03 February 2006 Victor Allen Lord Whimsy Crawford III publishes a .pdf-tutorial
for a tie-knot he calls ‘The Merovingian.’ In fact it is edeity’s sequence, but rendered much
more clearly than in edeity’s original .pdf. Whimsy had the idea from said .pdf, but was not
sure, if he had matched the sequence.
On 16 February 2007 Henry SimplyJustHen Hu publishes a video on YouTube wherein
he shows how to tie a knot he calls the ‘Hen Tie.’ In the video Henry makes clear that he has
the idea from edeity’s .pdf-tutorial, but that he was not sure if he had matched the sequence.
In fact Henry’s sequence slightly differs from edeity’s.
On 18 February 2007 the knot called ‘Merovingian’ appears in the German version of the
Wikipedia, linking to Lord Whimsy’s tutorial.
On 04 May 2008 Jeffrey cwtrain Eldredge publishes a video on YouTube, demonstrating
how to tie an even larger inverse tie-knot he calls the ‘Eldredge.’ Luke edeity Housego gave
the world the inverse tie-knots, and Jeffrey Eldredge invented a subterfuge in tie-knotting not
to be found in the literature so far: He simply tucks away the rest of the tie’s narrow end
under the collar, thereby making possible the largest tie-knot known. This move rightfully can
be called ‘the Eldredge tuckaway.’ But there is a problem with Jeffrey’s knot: It’s not a knot,
but more a ‘wrapping.’
On 19 October 2008 Alexander zephyrin_xirdal Knorr publishes the description and
sequence of the ‘Eldredge Variant’ in his weblog, making the ‘Eldredge’ into a true knot.
On 19 June 2010 Jeffrey Eldredge publishes the video ‘The Eldredge Knot: Revisited’ on
YouTube, demonstrating how to tie the sequence of the ‘Eldredge Variant.’
In this paper, we present a radical simplification of the formal language proposed by Fink and Mao,
together with an analysis of the asymptotic complexity class of the tie knots language. We produce a
novel enumeration of necktie knots tied with the thin blade, and compare it to the results of Fink and
Mao.

A. Formal languages
The work in this paper relies heavily on the language of formal languages, as used in theoretical
computer science and in mathematical linguistics. For a comprehensive reference, we recommend the
textbook by Sipser [11].
Recall that given a finite set L called an alphabet, the set of all sequences of any length of items
drawn (with replacement) from L is denoted by L∗ . A formal language on the alphabet L is some subset
A of L∗ . Depending on how difficult it is to accurately determine membership in a formal language A,
it places in one of several complexity classes. Languages that are described by finite state automata are
regular; languages that require a pushdown automaton are context free; languages that require a linear
bounded automaton are context sensitive and languages that require a full Turing machine to determine
are called recursively enumerable. This sequence builds an increasing hierarchy of expressibility and
computational complexity for syntactic rules for strings of some arbitrary sort of tokens.
One way to describe a language is to give a grammar – a set of production rules that decompose
some form of abstract tokens into sequences of abstract or concrete tokens, ending with a sequence of
elements in some alphabet. The standard notation for such grammars is the Backus-Naur form, which
uses ::= to denote the production rules and hsome namei to denote the abstract tokens. Further common
symbols are ∗ – the Kleene star, that denotes an arbitrary number of repetitions of the previous token
(or group in brackets), and | denoting a choice of one of the adjoining options.

II. T HE ANATOMY OF A NECKTIE

In the following, we will be referring quite a lot to various parts and constructions with a necktie.
We call the ends of a necktie blades, and distinguish between the broad blade and the thin blade1 –
see Figure 1 for these names. The tie knot can be divided up into a body, consisting of all the twists
and turns that are not directly visible in the final knot, and a façade, consisting of the parts of the tie
actually visible in the end. In Figure 2 we demonstrate this distinction. The body builds up the overall
shape of the tie knot, while the façade gives texture to the front of the knot. The enumeration of Fink and
Mao only considers knots with trivial façades, while these later inventions all consider more interesting
façades. As a knot is in place around a wearer, the Y-shape of the tie divides the torso into 3 regions:
Left, Center and Right – as shown to the right in Figure 1.
A tie knot has to be tied by winding and tucking one of the two blades around the other: if both
blades are active, then the tie can no longer be adjusted in place for a comfortable fit. We shall refer to
the blade used in tying the knot as the leading blade or the active blade. Each time the active blade is
moved across the tie knot – in front or in back – we call the part of the tie laid on top of the knot a
bow.
1
There are neckties without a width difference between the ends. We ignore this distinction for this paper.

windsor share the flat façade but have different bodies producing different shapes. The trinity has a completely different façade,
produced by a different wind and tuck pattern.

III. A LANGUAGE FOR TIE KNOTS

Fink and Mao [2] observe that once the first crossing has been made, the wrapping sequence of a
classical tie knot is completely decided by the sequence of regions into which the broad blade is moved.
Adorning the region specifications with a direction – is the tie moving away from the wearer or towards
the wearer – they establish a formal alphabet for describing tie knots with 7 symbols. We reproduce their
construction here, using U for the move to tuck the blade Under the tie itself2 . The notation proposed
by Fink and Mao [2] interprets repetitions U k of U as tucking the blade k bows under the top. It turns
out that the complexity analysis is far simpler if we instead write U k for tucking the blade under the
bow that was produced 2k windings ago. This produces a language on the alphabet:
{L⊗ , L , C⊗ , C , R⊗ , R , U }
They then introduce relations and restrictions on these symbols:
T ie1 No region (L, C, R) shall repeat. U moves do not influence this.
T ie2 No direction ( , ⊗) shall repeat. U moves do not influence this.
T ie3 Tucks (U ) are valid after an outward move.
T ie4 A tie knot can end only on one of C⊗ , C or U . In fact, almost all classical knots end on U .3
T ie5 A k -fold tuck U k is only valid after at least 2k preceding moves. Fink and Mao [2] do not pay
much attention to the conditions on k -fold tucks, since these show up in their enumeration as
stylistic variations, exclusively at the end of a knot.
This collection of rules allow us to drastically shrink the tie language, both in alphabet and axioms.
Fink and Mao are careful to annotate whether tie knot moves go outwards or inwards at any given point.
We note that the inwards/outwards distinction follows as a direct consequence of axioms T ie2 , T ie3 and
T ie4 . Since non-tuck moves must alternate between inwards and outwards, and the last non-tuck move
must be outwards, the orientation of any sequence of moves follows by backtracking from the end of
the string.
Hence, when faced with a non-annotated string like
RCLCRCLCRCLRU RCLU
we can immediately trace from the tail of the knot string: the last move before the final tuck must be
outwards, so that L must be a L . So it must be preceded by R C⊗ . Tracing backwards, we can specify

Fink and Mao used T for Tuck

the broad blade is brought up with a C move to fall in front of the knot, hiding the knot completely.
 4

the entire string above to

R⊗ C L⊗ C R⊗ C L⊗ C R⊗ C L⊗ R U C⊗ R C⊗ L U
Next, the axiom T ie1 means that a sequence will not contain either of LU ∗ L, CU ∗ C, RU ∗ R as
subsequences4 . Hence, the listing of regions is less important than the direction of transition: any valid
transition is going to go either clockwise or counterclockwise. Writing T for clockwise5 and W for
counterclockwise6 , we can give a strongly reduced tie language on the alphabet T, W, U . To completely
determine a tie knot, the sequence needs a starting state: an annotation on whether the first crossing of
a tie knot goes across to the right or to the left. In such a sequence, a U instruction must be followed
by either T or W dictating which direction the winding continues after the tuck, unless it is the last
move of the tie: in this case, the blade is assumed to continue straight ahead – down in front for most
broad-blade tie knots, tucked in under the collar for most thin-blade knots.
Position of the leading blade after a sequence of W/T windings is a direct result of #W −#T (mod 3).
This observation allows us to gain control over several conditions determining whether a distribution of
U symbols over a sequence of W/T produces a physically viable tie knot.
Theorem 1: A position in a winding sequence is valid for a k -fold tuck if the position is preceded by
2k winding symbols (W or T) that either
1) starts with W and satisfies #W − #T = 2 (mod 3)
2) starts with T and satisfies #T − #W = 2 (mod 3)
Proof: The initial symbol produces the bow under which the tuck will go. If the initial symbol goes,
say, from R to L, then the tuck move needs to come from C in order to go under the bow. In general, a
tuck needs to come from the one region not involved in the covering bow. Every other bow goes in front
of the knot, and the others go behind the knot. Hence, there are 2k − 1 additional winding symbols until
the active blade returns to the right side of the knot. During these 2k − 1 symbols, we need to transition
one more step around the sequence of regions. The transitions W and T are generator and inverse for
the cyclic group of order 3, concluding the proof.
We may notice that with the usual physical constraints on a tie – where we have experimentally
established that broad blade ties tend to be bounded by 9 moves, and thin blade ties by 15 moves, we
can expect that no meaningful tuck deeper than 7 will ever be relevant; 4 for the broad blade ties. The
bound of 4 is achieved in the enumeration by Fink and Mao [3] .

IV. L ANGUAGE COMPLEXITY

In this section, we examine the complexity features of the tie knot language. Due to the constraints
we have already observed on the cardinality of W and T , we will define a grammar for this language
using the attribute grammar formalism of Knuth [5] . We will write this grammar with an annotated
Backus-Naur form – symbols may have a finite number of numeric or boolean attributes that can be used
to validate a potentially correct string in the grammar. Although in practice it is only possible to realise
finite strings in the tie knot language due to the physical properties of fabric, we assume an arbitrarily
long (but finite), infinitely thin tie.

A. Single-depth tucks
The following regular grammar describes all valid winding sequences for knots in which tucks only
pass the active blade under the most recent bow made over the knot (which we will call depth-1-tuckable).
4
Recall that the Kleene star F ∗ is used to denote sequences of 0 or more repetitions of the string F .
5
T for Turnwise
6
W for Widdershins
 5

This subclass can be described by a simple grammar; if we want to allow deeper tucks – going under
earlier bows – then an attribute grammar as in Section IV-B is called for.

hprefixi ::= ’T’|’W’|

htucki ::= ’TTU’|’WWU’
hpairi ::= ’WT’|’WW’|’TT’|’TW’
htiei ::= hprefixi[hpairi|htucki] ∗ htucki
As section V elaborates, the distribution of T and W varies by type of knot: for classical knots,
#W − #T = 2 (mod 3); for modern knots that tuck to the right, #W − #T = 1 (mod 3); and for
modern knots that tuck to the left, #W −#T = 0 (mod 3). This grammar does not discriminate between
these three subclasses.

B. Recursive tucks
We allow for greater tuck depth by making the htucki rule recursive:

htucki ::= hpairihtucki’U’|

We then add attributes to the hpairi and htucki rules as follows:

hpairi ::=’TT’| [pair.t = 2, pair.w = 0]

’TW’| [pair.t = 1, pair.w = 1]
’WT’| [pair.t = 1, pair.w = 1]
’WW’ [pair.t = 0, pair.w = 2]
htucki ::=hpairihtuckablei’U’ [tuck.t = pair.t + tuckable.t
tuck.w = pair.w + tuckable.w
[Link] = tuck.t − tuck.w (mod 3) if tuck[0] = ’W’
tuck.w − tuck.t (mod 3) if tuck[0] = ’T’]
htuckablei ::=| [tuckable.t = 0, tuckable.w = 0]
htucki [tuckable.t = tuck.t, tuckable.w = tuck.w]

Note that the validity of a tuck depends only on the count of T and W in the entire sequence comprising
the tuck, and not the validity of any tucks recursively embedded into it. For instance, TWTTUU is a valid
depth-2-tuckable sequence, as is its embedded depth-1-tuckable sequence TTU. However, TTWTUU is
also a valid depth-2-tuckable sequence, even though WTU is not a valid depth-1-tuckable sequence.
Finally, we add one last attribute to the top-level htiei rule:

htiei ::= hprefixi[hpairi|htucki] ∗ htucki [[Link] = True if all [Link] = 1]

Since all the semantic information passes up the parse tree, the grammar uses only synthesized attributes
and is therefore an S-attributed grammar, amenable to both top-down and bottom-up parsing approaches.
 6

C. Classification of the tie-knot language

If we limit our attention to only the single depth tie knots described in Section IV-A, then the grammar
is regular, proving that this tie language is a regular language and can be described by a finite automaton.
In fact, an automaton accepting these tie knots is given by:

T T
T
W W U U
T T
W
W W

Execution starts at the middle node, but has to go outside and return before the machine will accept
input.
As for the deeper tucked language in Section IV-B, classification is significantly harder: the presence of
recursion means it is at least context-free, whereas the expressibility with an attribute grammar implies at
most context-sensitive. The language does not seem immediately amenable to pumping lemma arguments,
nor to treatment with Ogden’s lemma or Parikh’s theorem or interchange lemmas[8–10, 13].

V. E NUMERATION
We can cut down the enumeration work by using some apparent symmetries. Without loss of generality
we can assume that a tie knot starts by putting the active blade in region R: any knot starting in the
region L is the mirror image of a knot that starts in R and swaps all W to T and vice versa.

A. The classical case

Knots finishing in region C include all classical knots as classified by Fink and Mao [2]: these are
all tied with the broad blade and finish with C. Hence, they are classified completely by W/T sequences
with #W − #T = 1 (mod 3), by not counting the initial crossing as one of the moves –
For a tie knot with k moves, the W and T moves need to divide so that #W − #T = 1 (mod 3).
This is possible in dk/3e ways. For each allotment of W and T moves, then, a classical tie knot must
end with at least a single order tuck. If it weren’t for this condition, we could count the number of ties
k


for each allotment as #T , by choosing the positions that receive a T symbol. However, we need to
disqualify the choices that place different symbols at the two last positions of the string.
These disqualified versions end with either WT or TW and are preceded by an arbitrary sequence of
k − 2 W and T symbols. They are only possible if there are at least 1 of each symbol available to begin
with.
Theorem 2: The number of classical ties with exactly k winding steps is
   
X k k−2
−2
t t−1
t+w=k
t−w=1 (mod 3)

Proof: Out of the k winding steps, we need 1
more T than W to reach the C position for the finishing
k
move. For any choice of #T, #W , there are #T of these. Out of all ways to place the requisite number
of T in the winding sequence, we remove those that use up one each of T and W for the last two moves.
 7

k−2


Such windings are counted by #T −1 , and for each such sequence, both TW and WT are forbidden
finishing sequences.
Hence, for each candidate sequence of k − 2 moves we need to exclude two sequences.
In particular, the cases enumerated by Fink and Mao [2] are
Winding length 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 total
# tie knots 1 1 3 5 11 21 43 85

B. The modern case

A knot with the thick blade active will cover up the entire knot with each new bow. As such, all thick
blade active tie knots will fall within the classification by Fink and Mao [2].
The modern case, thus, deals with thin blade active knots. As evidenced by the Trinity and the Eldredge
knots, thin blade knots have a wider range of interesting façades and of interesting tuck patterns. Where
for thick blade knots, it was enough to assume that the tuck happens last, and from the C region, the
thin blade knots have a far wider variety.
The case remains that unless the last move is a tuck – or possibly finishes in the C region – the knot
will unravel from gravity. We can thus expect this to be a valid requirement for the enumeration. There
are often more valid tuck sites than the final position in a knot, and the tuck need no longer come from
the C region: R and L are at least as valid.
To enumerate windings that end with a single depth tuck move, the formula from Theorem 2 will
serve our needs, with some slight modification. More interesting, however, is to enumerate all tie knots
with all their choices of possible tuck sites.
Winding sequences can be generated with the same building blocks we used for the classical case
above.
Theorem 3: The number of tie winding sequences ending with a single depth tuck from the left after
k winding steps is    
X k k−2
−2
t t−1
t+w=k
t−w=0 (mod 3)

The number of winding sequences ending with a single depth tuck from the right after k winding steps
is    
X k k−2
−2
t t−1
t+w=k
t−w=2 (mod 3)

Proof: The proof closely follows that of Theorem 2. In each case, we need to enforce repetition of
the last winding symbol to allow for a single depth tuck at the end. In each case, we also need to end
our winding sequence in the correct region for the tuck to take place. The region placement is handled
by the mod 3 residue.
While a good closed form expression for the total number of tie knots, especially including all the
tuck combinations of different depths, seems out of reach at the current time, the descriptions we have
given so far provide accessible routes to algorithmically enumerating possible tie knots. In the appendix,
we include a listing of single depth tuck knots, as well as python code that will list and print knots and
potential tuck sites for any depth and winding length.
To extend the table above, we can use the formulae in Theorems 2 and 3 to establish the following:
Winding length 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 total
# left single tuck windings 0 2 2 6 10 22 42 86 170 324 682
# right single tuck windings 1 1 3 5 11 21 43 85 171 341 682
# center single tuck windings 1 1 3 5 11 21 43 85 171 341 682
 8

The reason for the similarity between the right and the center counts is that if t − w = 1 (mod 3),
then w − t = 2 (mod 3). Hence, a winding sequence for a center tuck can be mirrored to a winding
sequence for a right tuck.
By counting the number of detected tuck sites, we have calculated the total number of tie knots using
only single depth tucks to be 177 147. Of these, 59 016 each end with a right or a center tuck, and 59 115
end with a left tuck.

VI. A ESTHETICS
Fink and Mao [2] propose several measures to quantify the aesthetic qualities of a necktie knot; notably
symmetry and balance, corresponding to the quantities #R − #L and the number of transitions from a
streak of W to a streak of T or vice versa.
By considering the popular thin-blade neck tie knots: the Eldredge and the Trinity, as described in [6,
7], we can immediately note that balance no longer seems to be as important for the look of a tie knot
as is the shape of its façade. Symmetry still plays an important role in knots, and is easy to calculate
using the CLR notation for tie knots.
Knot TW-string CLR-string Balance Symmetry
Eldredge TTTWWTTUTTWWU LCRLRCRLUCRCLU 3 0
Trinity TWWWTTTUTTU LCLRCRLCURLU 2 1
We do not in this paper attempt to optimize any numeric measures of aesthetics, as this would require
us to have a formal and quantifiable measure of the knot façades. This seems difficult with our currently
available tools.

VII. C ONCLUSION
In this paper, we have extended the enumeration methods originally used by Fink and Mao [2] to
provide a larger enumeration of necktie knots, including those knots tied with the thin blade of a necktie
to produce ornate patterns in the knot façade.
We have found 2 046 winding patterns that take up to 11 moves to tie and are anchored by a final single
depth tuck, and thus are reasonable candidates for use with a normal necktie. We chose the number of
moves by examining popular thin-blade tie knots – the Eldredge tie knot uses 11 moves. Most of these
winding patterns allow several possible tuck patterns, and thus the 2 046 winding sequences generate
177 147 tie knots with single depth tucks.
We have further shown that in the limit, the language describing neck tie knots is either context sensitive
or context free, with a regular sub-language describing the 177 147 knots above.
Questions that remain open to our mind include:
• Settle the language complexity class of the full tie knot language.
• Find a way to algorithmically divide a knot description string into a body/façade distinction.
• Using such a distinction, classify all possible knot façades with reasonably short necktie lengths.

Thin blade active tie knots

The knots that started this project were the Eldredge and the Trinity. Our transcriptions of these ties
as demonstrated by Krasny [6, 7] are:
Eldredge TTTWWTTUTTWWU
Trinity TWWWTTTUTTU
Note that these show up in the enumerations below as L-373 (uuUu) and L-110 (uU).
In the next several pages of this appendix, we shall list enumerations for up to 12 winding moves –
including the Eldredge and the Trinity in our enumeration. Throughout, we write u for a potential tuck
site, where a single depth tuck is allowed, and U for the final tuck that keeps the tie knot in place. We
split the enumeration based on where the final tuck takes place: from L, from R or from C.
 12

We write the TWU strings with a lowercase u for any additionally feasible front tuck site. First ties
knots that tuck from the left.

Next, we list the knots that tuck from the center. Again, with all optional single depth front tuck
sites marked with a lowercase u. All these tie knots will have the thin blade sitting on top of the broad
blade, which for most choices will be an unusual look, even for a modern tie knot. By comparing entries
we may see that the 85 first knots in this enumeration are – with medial tucks ignored and with some
permutation of assigned indices – the same as the 85 tie knots enumerated by Fink and Mao [2].

and in the mod 3 tests on final segments of strings.
