Not many people wear bow ties today and even less know how to tie one – I have liberated this excellent article on how to do this from another website…
 |
1) Place the bow tie around your neck, situating it so that end “A” is about two inches longer than end “B”. |  |
2) Cross end “A” over end “B”. |
 |
3) Bring end “A” up and under the loop. |  |
4) Now double end “B” over itself to form the front base loop of the bow tie. |
 |
5) Loop end “A” over the center of the loop you just formed. |  |
6) Holding everything in place, double end “A” back on itself and poke it through the loop behind the bow tie. |
 |
7) Adjust the bow tie by tugging at the ends of it and straightening the center knot. |
