I tie my Balmoral ribbons in a square knot first and then tie the remaining ribbon in a bow. I tried to figure out how to keep the bow "Horizontal" but I couldn't do it until I tied the square knot first. The Bow kept slipping and comming undone but now it rarely ever comes undone. I don't know why this matters since the bow is primarily decorative but it's what works for me.

I tie the Balmoral ribbons but I leave the Caubeen ribbons loose on the theory that it's a military cap. I don't actually know if this is correct form or not (anybody know?) but whenever I wear the Caubeen somebody will want to "correct" me about leaving the ribbons loose.
