How to Tie a Neckerchief

Tying a neckerchief is a great skill to know for many different activities, Whether you are riding the range, dressing up a uniform or simply wanting to protect your neck when working in the hot sun. This simple tie can be used for any of these.

Instructions

1. Spread a handkerchief out on a flat surface. Fold the square handkerchief in half diagonally to form a triangle.

2. Roll the handkerchief from the top point of the triangle down toward the long side. Tie the roll in the middle by using a piece of thread.

3. Position the rolled up handkerchief around your neck and cross the ends.

4. Bring one end behind the other, then bring it up and to the front by crossing it over the opposite end.

5. Make sure that both ends are even with one another. Cross ends again to form an X. Hold an opening with one finger and bring one end through the loop.

6. Tighten the knot and work with the handkerchief to straighten the knot and even out both ends. The result is that of a square knot.
