  Step 1
  Pull the ascot around the back of the neck as you would a tie. Let the left end hang a little more than two inches longer than the right.
  
  Step 2
  Wrap the left end one and a half times over the right. Continue around, as if you were going to complete a second turn, and push the left end up, through the neck loop, so that it emerges over the top.
  
  Step 3
  Center the top flap so that it is the only visible portion of the ascot. Spread the sides slightly, creating a "waterfall" of fabric from the base of your neck. Shallow creases should be visible.
  
  Step 4
  Undo the top button of your shirt. Tuck the ends of the ascot into the mouth of your shirt and center it.
  
  Step 5
  Secure the ends of the ascot with a stick pin if desired.

  I used to be horrible at tying ties. I was in Hungary about 12 years ago, and one of the translators we had saw my incorrectly tied tie, and thought it was the new American style, and he showed up the next day with his tie tied like mine.
