A method and apparatus for tying a necktie knot are provided. The apparatus includes a substantially triangular base having a front face, a back face, three edges and three corners. The apparatus also includes an integrated clip extending from an area of the back face of the substantially triangular base that is proximate to one of the three edges and between two of the three corners. The integrated clip has a flexibility that enables reception of at least one end of a necktie between the integrated clip and the substantially triangular base, and a rigidity that enables retention of the at least one end between the integrated clip and the substantially triangular base. The substantially triangular base maintains a substantially triangular structure of a necktie knot that is tied around and encases the substantially triangular base and the integrated clip.
