First, we’re going to start with the tie inside out and the wider end of the tie about 12 inches lower than the narrow end.

Then, we’re going to cross the wide end under the narrow end and place the wide end first over and then under the narrow end.

Now take this loop that you’ve made and tighten it by pulling down it).

Next, we’re going to take the wide end and pull it to the right

Finally, we’re gonna pull the wide end up so it’s behind the loop and then we just put it through the knot and pull down on it to tighten it.
