Cross the "Green" side of the bow tie over the "Yellow".



Bring the "Green side of the bow tie under the loop.



Now, double "Yellow" over itself to form the front base loop of the bow tie.



Loop "Green" over the center of the loop you just formed in the bow tie.



Holding everything in place, double "Green" back on itself and poke it through the loop behind the bow tie.



Adjust the bow tie by tugging at the ends of it and straightening the center knot.
