The main thing is you don't need to tie them at all - just wrap it around your shoulders or drape it over one shoulder, and you're done. In summer a web scarf is more for protection from the sun or wind than for warmth, so there's no point in tying it tight. If you still want to secure it somehow, you can loosely wrap it around your neck and leave the ends flowing, or pin it in place. The main thing is to avoid having a knot around your neck when it's hot.
It's not really about tying it - it's more about figuring out how to secure a mesh scarf so it stays put and doesn't get in the way. I agree that in summer you mostly just drape it loosely, but here's the thing: the thin fabric is really slippery, and if you just wrap it around your shoulders, it'll constantly slide down, especially if you're moving around or there's a breeze. The best way is to fix it with a loose knot in front on your chest - not tight, just loose - or thread the ends through your bag's armhole so it stays in place.
In summer I usually just twist the scarf into a thin cord and wrap it around my waist like a belt - that way you get sun protection and it looks neater than letting the fabric flap around. Plus your hands stay free and nothing slips off.
There's actually no "right" way to do it - it all depends on what you're going for. But here's something people often miss: if your web scarf is synthetic, it's slippery and tends to slide off, whereas if it's made from natural linen or cotton, it stays put way better, even if you just toss it on carelessly. So before you go hunting for the perfect way to tie it, it makes sense to first check what your scarf is actually made of - that's half the battle.
