Scarf Tying Style-Bow Tie & Buckaroo Knot

Step-by-step scarf tying instruction guide

Buckaroo Knot

Step 1
Begin with a folded oblong or a bias-band folded square scarf. Drape the scarf around your neck, then grasp opposite ends of the scarf, one in each hand.
Step 2
Wrap the scarf once around one or two fingers of your left hand, from over front to back and back over the fingers with the end hanging down and loose.
Step 3
The right scarf end wraps around the front of the left from front to back being sure to go under the loose left end.
Step 4
The right scarf end then comes forward around from the back, and loops over the loose left end, and through the loop made by the fingers of your left hand, from right to left.
Step 5
Tighten the square and there it is: the 4-square buckaroo knot.

Bow Tie

Step 1
A square scarf with a bias-band fold, or a folded oblong scarf, may be used for this knot.
Step 2
Place the scarf around your neck, situating it so that end "A" is about two inches longer than end "B".
Step 3
Cross "A" over "B". Bring "A" up and under the loop. Now double "B" over itself to form the front base loop of the bow tie.
Step 4
Loop "A" over the center of the loop you just formed.
Step 5
Holding everything in place, double "A" back on itself and poke it through the loop behind the bow tie.
Step 6
Adjust the bow tie by tugging at the ends of it and straightening the center knot.
