| Step 1 |
A square scarf with a bias-band fold, or a folded oblong scarf, may be used for this knot. |
| Step 2 |
Place the scarf around your neck, situating it so that end "A" is about two inches longer than end "B". |
| Step 3 |
Cross "A" over "B". Bring "A" up and under the loop. Now double "B" over itself to form the front base loop of the bow tie. |
| Step 4 |
Loop "A" over the center of the loop you just formed. |
| Step 5 |
Holding everything in place, double "A" back on itself and poke it through the loop behind the bow tie. |
| Step 6 |
Adjust the bow tie by tugging at the ends of it and straightening the center knot. |
