Sefardi Tzitzis for Ashkenazi

For Ashkenazim who opt to tie tzitzis with Rambam/Yemenite chulyot (typically using techeiles, but also with all-white) would it be advisable to add a double knot before the efardi hulyos, after the chulyos or both?

Answer:

In fact an Ashkenazi should not be wearing tzitzit according to the Yemenite tradition at all. Rather they should be wearing according to accepted Ashkenazi tradition, whether with or without tcheiles. Adding knots would create a mixture of different customs and perhaps a fulfillment of no customs.
