How to Make an Ascot Tie

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

Step 1

Start with the ascot hanging around your neck with one end shorter than the other, if your are looking in the mirror the long end should normally be on the right side.
Step 2

Take the longer end of the tie and cross it over top of the shorter end.
Step 3

Take the long end back under the short end to create a knot.
Step 4

Loop the long end around the front of the knot.
Step 5

Bring the long end through the opening at the neck, but not through the loop you just made. You want the long end to be on top of the knot you made so it flow freely. The knot will be covered by this piece.

You will want to adjust the sides of the pieces of the ascot to maintain the width that you are trying to obtain.
Step 6

Adjust the knot up or down by grabbing the knot (under the top piece of fabric) and pulling it up or down, while you pull gently downwards on the free flowing piece of fabric which behind the top piece.

To achieve the look you are looking for you will need to open or close your shirt appropriately depending on how much of the ascot you want exposed.
Step 7

You can created a larger more volumus look by by pulling the top further out of the collar. The shirt will hold the ascot in place to acheive your desired look.
