Wondering how other people get these beautifully shaped, adjustable knots on their bandanas? It's super simple - and works as follows.

Bandanas make a great upgrade for your bag, make your trousers look a lot more casual and love to wrap around your neck. However, the latter needs to be handled skilfully. So that the knot looks good and can be adjusted as desired.

If you've always wondered how other people do it so nonchalantly while you just tie two ends together, you've come to the right place. But even self-proclaimed knot experts might learn something new with these two variations.

First things first: Roll the bandana cleverly

Spread the bandana out in front of you and fold two opposite corners inwards. Now start rolling from one of the folded sides until you reach the edge on the other side. This will prevent a corner from sticking out of the textile roll.

Version 1: The tie knot

Wrap the rolled-up bandana around your neck like a tie - with one longer and one shorter end. Now wrap the long side completely around the short side from the back over the front back to the back and pull its tip up through the neck loop.

Now push the tip through the knot from above and tighten it to the desired position. Variant number 1 is finished, which you can loosen or tighten as desired - just like a tie.

Version 2: The one-sided node

It couldn't be simpler: in this version, you wrap the bandana symmetrically around your neck. Tie a loose knot in one of the two sides. Then thread the other side through from above.

If you do not tighten the knot completely, you can also adjust its position here by pulling on the loose end.
