This is the way. Your muscle memory is so ingrained it’s really hard to change how you tie the bow (whichever method you use) but it’s easy to reverse that initial knot. With the Present Holidays coming up, it’s good to know for tying ribbon bows on gifts, too
Oh! If anyone is interested in shoelace knots, I’d highly recommend checking out the Ian Knot. There’s a similar need to make sure the knot is balanced to keep it secure, but it’s overall much faster to tie.
Granny knot. Making the knot the right way helps top never having to re-tie my shoes during the whole day.
The sign of a stable shoe knot is that it is perpendicular to the shoe. A shoe knot angled or parallel is the unstable granny version.
The most simple correction, for anybody else wondering, is simple. Make your first cross the other way and do not change the next main step at all.

Yes, it wasn’t recently, but learning this made a huge difference for me. I actually learned it from a TED talk, lol.

You can learn even more from Ian.
Thanks, that site is awesome. I’m pretty sure that it was the one I used some time ago to learn a few new lacing methods.
Explain?
See my reply parallel to yours for a video of it.
