How to tie a bow tie

  • STEP 1 – Drape the bow around your neck and make a simple knot with both ends, allowing the end on your right to extend about one inch lower than the end on your left side.
  • STEP 2 – Lift the right end out of the way, fold the left end into a bow shape and position it onto the first knot that you created.

  • STEP 4 – Double the right end back onto itself and position it over the knot so the two folded ends make a cross.
