The provided reference describes steps on how to tie a bow tie, which inherently includes positioning it correctly during the tying process. Therefore, this response addresses positioning in the context of tying a bow tie.
According to the video transcript, the positioning involves ensuring the ends are appropriately sized before starting the knot, and holding the tie correctly throughout the process.
Here’s a breakdown of how to position a bow tie during tying, based on the reference:
-
Initial Length Adjustment:
- Start with one end longer than the other. The reference states, "Longer than your right." This initial difference in length is crucial for creating the bow tie knot.
-
First Crossover:
- The long end goes over the short end. "So long end goes over short end". This is the foundational positioning for the first part of the knot.
-
Securing the Position:
- Pinch the crossed-over section with your left hand. "Pinch with your left hand." This maintains the relative positions of the ends while you proceed.
-
Creating the Loop:
- The longer end goes up through the loop created at your neck. "Now the longer end goes up through the hole."
-
Tightening:
- Pull the longer end tight. "And you pull it tight." This establishes the initial shape and secures the position of the tie.
-
Forming the Bow:
- Create the bow shape with your right hand. "Now your right hand you leave your bow tie."
