Despite the fact that the heyday of the pioneer movement remained far in the past, the question of how to tie a pioneer tie still remains relevant. Children's summer camps inherited the tradition of tying a neck scarf and offer it to modern teens.

General rules on how to tie a pioneer tie

A neck accessory called a “pioneer tie” is an attribute, the wearing of which is associated with many rules. This is not a simple piece of clothing, but a kind of artifact with almost a century of history and a vibrant political past.

The pioneer tie is a symbol of the unity of three generations, three pillars: the party of communists dominating in the country, and also its successors from the organizations of Komsomol members and pioneers. The three ends of the neckerchief represented the listed political movements and their forces, and the connecting node symbolized the strength and unity of the adherents of the Soviet concept in the struggle for the triumph of the ideology of communism around the globe.

It was such an ambitious task that the adherents of the current set themselves, affirming the neck scarf as a symbolic accessory, which must be worn by all schoolchildren who were lucky to be accepted as pioneers. I must say that even half a century ago, joining the ranks of this organization was considered not only a duty of the student, but also an honorable right and a certain privilege. Only the most successful students were the first to be accepted into pioneers, a special solemn line was arranged for them, on which senior comrades tied the honorary sign of the youth movement to recruits. And only after that all the other students were accepted.

It was required to show respect for the tie, its wearing was mandatory, since without a neckerchief a pioneer could not be considered a worthy member of his link. Losing a tie or careless attitude to it was sharply condemned. The red tie of the pioneer should always be clean, ironed and neatly tied. After all, he was considered, no matter how much, but a particle of the red banner - the most important ideological attribute of the country.

Thanks to the tireless and intrusive activities of propaganda ideologists, almost every schoolchild knew this, and probably any pioneer. And, of course, all students over 10 years old were well aware of how to tie a pioneer shawl correctly, could cope with such a task even with their eyes closed.

The most important thing to do is to correctly position the scarf on the neck. It is laid so that the sharp ends are on the chest, and its blunt part is in the middle of the back. There was a period when the corners hanging in parallel were fastened together with a clamp, but this accessory quickly sunk into oblivion.

An extremely important condition for the correct tying of a pioneer scarf is the symmetrical distribution of its angles. Being tied, it should look beautiful and neat. It is not customary to wear a tie on a naked body; it is placed only on a shirt. Scrupulousness and attention to detail was brought up by the party in its followers from an early age. Indeed, it is from obedient and pedantic children that one can expect loyalty and self-denial in the struggle for the communist idea.

Step-by-step instruction in pictures

In the modern world, interest in the procedure for tying a tie remained, rather, as a romantic memory of bygone days. Today, headscarves similar to pioneer ones offer heads of some public organizations, summer camps, scout squads to tie their members. Therefore, learning to properly tie a pioneer tie can be useful for both children and adults. This task is completely uncomplicated and even a primary school student can cope with it.

Simple knot

An elementary option of tying makes it possible to get a small knot on a scarf in almost 2-3 movements.

To do this, you must:

  1. Position the scarf around the neck so that its long ends hang evenly on the chest.
  2. These strips of fabric cross.
  3. The right part is turned over the neck loop and pulled down.
  4. Then it is circled around the left, lifted up, passed through a loop, then the corner is pulled out.
  5. The knot is tightened.

The tie is tied. The ends of the accessory are straightened so that they do not look dented. This method is considered the fastest.

Double knot

Tying a tie in the presented way is also not difficult. The method is easy to master, and after a short training session all the required actions will occur automatically, without unnecessary movements and confusion.

The process is as follows:

  1. The scarf is placed on the neck so that the sharp ends intersect on the chest.
  2. The left of them stretches into the neck loop, and then winds under the right lane of tissue.
  3. Next, the left corner extends into the resulting loop.
  4. When tightening the ends, a double knot is formed.

Such a knot is considered to be a real pioneer, and it was in this way that the pioneers of the USSR used the tie most often.

The technique of tying a red-green accessory

Red-green scarf is an accessory that is customary to wear among pioneers in Belarus. The subtleties of tying this garment is no different from the methodology adopted for the red Soviet scarf. However, there is still a difference. The fact is that it is made of two-color fabric, therefore it is necessary to ensure that one of the shades of fabric falls on the knot.

Note! It is unacceptable to tie an accessory so that the knot turns out to be two-color.

The scarf is tied in this way:

  1. The green end of the scarf is placed on the chest over the red.
  2. The first is pulled into the neck loop, put it under the red strip and wrapped around this part of the fabric.
  3. Next, they direct the green end to the formed loop, blow it into it, tighten the knot.

In Soviet times, it was considered correct to tie a scarf so that the knot turned out to be red. In modern times, it is customary to do this in the country according to the traditional method, however, a two-tone tie requires that one condition is met - the knot should turn green. It is enough to experiment a few times with a small accessory to get the hang of putting it on neatly and correctly.

Mastering the technique of tying a pioneer tie can come in handy for those who love and honor the traditions of their ancestors, want to learn the history of a great country, or simply want to plunge into the era of the last century, experience its peculiar romance.
