KNOT JUST A SCARF

I love this method of wearing it because it keeps one end firmly anchored over your shoulder rather than flying all over the place.

Simply put on the necklace, place the scarf flat across the back of your neck with even length ends in each hand, and wrap each end of the scarf loosely twice or three times around the necklace. I like to leave the ends hanging for some volume.

Tutorial #157 is the Hair Bow. Fold a small square scarf on the diagonal or use a short rectangular scarf. Tie it around a piece of your hair and then tie a bow securely in place. For added security, you can fasten it to a hairtie.

It depends on where you live. A lot of the high street fashion stores will sell square scarves affordably in the accessories section. I also love thrift shops - I’ve actually found a surprising amount of vintage brand name scarves that have beautiful art printed on them. Otherwise, there are a lot of silk scarf sellers online worldwide.

Hi! I use a range of different sizes but primarily 80cm squares and other long rectangular scarves. If you’re just starting out, I recommend getting a square as your first scarf since you can always fold it into a long strip. It’s much more versatile.

First, fold your square scarf diagonally in half so you get a triangle. I used a 90cm square scarf here. Next, drape the triangle on top of your head and then tie two corners under your chin. Bring the ends of that knot to the back of your neck and tie a secure double knot there. Slip the hood off your head so it rests behind you like a hoodie. Then rotate it 180 degrees so that the hood is now draped over your chest in front of you. Isn’t it gorgeous?
