When I tie crosses, I make a half-cross template, and trace the pattern onto a vertically folded shirt.  The key to the folding is neat, even pleates, twisting and turning the shirt as you go, to bring your half-cross outline into a straight line across the top of your pleates. Tie or band on the line, and again an inch or so out.  I hope this is understandable and helps you out.
