describe knot tying, we think of it as having three sec-tions - two ends and a standing part. Some knots are formed by two ends (reef knot), some by the end and the standing part (bowline), and some by the standing part alone (sheepshank). Many knots seem an endless maze of parts. But even the most complex knots can be broken down to a com-

Friendship knots look really intricate but are nice and easy to achieve. These square knots are the perfect way to tie a scarf around your neck and are a great skill to know, especially if you are part of a Scout group. All you need to achieve this popular knot is a scarf and a spare 5 minutes.
Purchase a scarf that has different coloured points.
Friendship knots work best on two-toned scarves as the different colours make it easy to identify the 2 opposite points. A two-toned scarf will also accentuate the folds and layers of the knot. If you don’t have your own, purchase one from a department store, a Scouts club, or online.
A triangle shaped scarf works best for this knot, however, if you only have a square scarf, fold it in half so that it looks like a triangle.
Scarves are often given out for free to Scout members.
Remove any wrinkles from the scarf with an iron.
The scarf will be much easier to fold if the edges have been ironed and it will help the final knot look nice and crisp. Place the scarf on an ironing board and rub the iron over the entire scarf until it is free from wrinkles and the corners lie flat.
Cross end A of the scarf under and then back over end B.
Place end A under the end B to form a cross shape. Then, fold end A back onto itself, over end B. Make these folds about 4 inches (10 cm) from the end of the scarf to give plenty of room to make the rest of the folds.
The right side of the scarf is referred to as end A and the left side as end B.
Wrap end B around your finger and under the join.
Hold your finger under end B at the joining point of each end of the rope. Pull end B over your finger, under the existing folds, and then back to your finger so that end B creates a loop.
Use a finger from your non-dominant hand to make the folding easier.
