I usually use a four in hand. My knit ties are generally thicker than many of my other ties and I get a good sized knot with the fih.

pretty much only the FIH, maybe a double if it's thinner

FIH is the only knot that works for me with these ties.

FIH, or half-Windsor if the knit is thin enough.

for skinnier ties or wider collars I use the 1/2 or full windsor. Wider ties I tend to use four in hand and I only double it if it's long.

Another vote for the four in hand.

Some like the double four in hand, but I'm too tall for that – end up with the bottom of the tie around my chest!
