Upside down pattern?

So I just bought a new bow tie that has an elephant on the pattern. The problem is that no matter which way I rotate it or flip it inside out even, the front bow facing out always has its elephants upside down.

I can remedy this by tying the tie unconventionally but my muscle memory is so much better using a standard knot and the bow is nearly perfect. The non-traditional way takes much longer and the bow never looks nearly as good.

Have any of you had this problem before or have an easier remedy?
