How to Tie a Chef Neckerchief
A chef's neckerchief starts as a square piece of white material that is folded into a knot to wear close to your neck. Not only does it provide a professional look for any chef, but it also helps to absorb perspiration which is vital when working for long hours in a hot kitchen. While tying a neckerchief may look like a difficult task, it can become easy with enough practice and eventually, you will be tying your neckerchief in a matter of minutes out of habit. Does this Spark an idea?

Fold the neckerchief in half to form a triangle, then fold the wider edge toward the point to make a hem of about three inches. Continue folding every three inches until the clock has become a folded scarf.

Place the scarf around your neck so that the midpoint is across the center of the back of your neck. Bring the ends of the scarf forward and over your shoulders. Cross the left end over the right end and bring the left end up to thread it through the part of the neckerchief that is currently around your neck. Pull the ends as tight as you can in order to still be comfortable.
