This scarf tie works great with regular-old scarves, they can be winter-weight or light-weight, cotton or wool, because the emphasis is on the tie around the neck. It is also great for adding a little flair under coats, jackets, blazers or cardigans. Unless you have a very long scarf it might look a little off on its own as it ends up with shorts end, great for tucking under a top layer.
- Start with the scarf behind your neck about 3/4 of it going to one side.
- Next wrap the scarf around one time.
- Adjust the tightness around your neck.
- Drop your hand over and into the loop you just made.
- Pop your hand under the hanging side, so it is over the loop and under the tail.
- Grab the other hanging tail in your looped hand.
- Pull completely through the hole your hand was previously occupying.
- Give both ends a tug and tuck under your jacket, coat, blazer, etc...
- Ta-Da! The final product.
Start with large rectangular scarf:
- First hang the scarf around the neck with approx. 2/3 hanging over your shoulder on one side, while grabbing the top corner of the other, tuck the corner under to form a triangle across your chest.
- Pull the longer side to allow for enough scarf to wrap around your neck.
- Next wrap the longer side loosely around your neck one time.
- Repeat the first step on the other side grabbing a corner and tucking it under the wrapped portion around your neck to form an overlapping triangle.
- Ta-Da! You can use safety pins or a brooch to hold this wrap in place or just re-tuck the corners throughout the day, depending on the texture of your scarf you may not need the pins.
This wrap looks great layered under coats or just on its own, it is generally my go-to wrap if the scarf is going to be a day long accessory and not just for cold weather layering. This tie works well with large scarves and many different weights.
