Tying My Rawhide Moccasins

I know online there isn't any very good sources on how to tie your moccasins, at least none I could find. So, when my new moccasins came untied, I knew I needed to find a way.

Step 1:
Make sure your laces are completely untied.



Step 2:
Like beginning to tie your shoes, take your left lace and cross it over the right. Now, loop the left lace under the right. Tighten.



Step 3:
Make a loop with your now right lace, making sure to keep holding the bottom of the loop together.


Step 4:
Do the same with your left lace (make a loop and hold on the bottom). You should have two bunny ears now.


Step 5:
Cross the LEFT loop BEHIND your right loop. Keep holding the loops crossed.


Step 6:
Locate the small hold beneath where the loops meet.


Take your now LEFT ear and loop it forward through the small hole.



Step 7:
It will be a bit mixed up at first, but just tighten the loops a bit, and adjust the bottom of the bow a little, and it should turn out like a miniature bow. Like this:

That's it, and I hope I made it simpler. This isn't the best knot(sturdy wise) for moccasins, but it seems a whole lot easier than all those YouTube demonstrations.
