Depends. In the Sling and Swathe you use two bandages. You tie them together at the short side and place the knot at the elbow. One bandage will wrap around the neck and be tied behind the neck to support the arm from being lowered. The "swathe" will be tied around the persons chest, catching the arm and being tied under the opposite arm pit (if your splinting the right arm, you would tie it under the left arm pit). The Swathe prevents the patient from moving the arm out from the body.
A sling only is tied behind the neck. Make sure you always pad the area behind any not.
There are numerous ways to do this. This is how I do it in the field. There is no wrong way providing the arm is immobilized and there is no further harm to patient. This is a skill that is hard to describe in writting and you really need to practice it. One of these days I will post a video on you tube as to how I do it.

Where is knot ties on the triangular bandage to create a pocket for the elbow?
Lay out the triangular bandage, opened up, on a flat surface. There is 1 long side, and 2 shorter sides of the bandage (triangle). Where the 2 shorter sides meet, at the point, grab the point and tie a knot at the point end. When you fold the bandage in half, like it would be on a person, where you tied the knot will be the pocket for the elbow.The knot is tied at the large angle corner of the bandage a few inches forward.
