Tie the neckerchief
Place the rolled neckerchief around your neck with the right side longer than the left. Tie a square knot. Cross the right and left ends of the neckerchief with the longer right end crossing over the shorter left end. Bring the right end up and under the left side, then over and down. You should have the two ends twined around each other and facing downward. Take the right end, which is now on your left, and fold it up and over the other side again. This forms a loop. Tighten the loop into a knot. The two ends should now be even.
