This scrunchie cravat (or ruche tie) is an alternative to the traditional wedding cravat shown above. It doesn't require a cravat pin, though some people opt to have one anyway.

| Step by Step |
 |
Step 1. Put the cravat around your neck. Make sure that the tops of the cravats are level. Some cravats are made so that one end is longer than the other however if your cravat is equal in length it does not matter. Call one side / the longer side ‘A’ and the other side / shorter side ‘B’. |
 |
Step 2. Bring A across the front of B. Make sure that it is not too loose or too tight. |
 |
Step 3. Bring A around and behind B. |
 |
Step 4. Bring A around and behind B to form the knot. |
 |
Step 5. Bring A up and behind the loop. |
 |
Step 6. Bring A through the front of the knot. The folds sewn into the cravat create the scrunchie / ruche effect on the knot. If using a cravat that was equal in step 1 it will be unavoidable that the back of the finished cravat will be longer than the front. This should be easily hidden under a waistcoat or by using a pin. |
