How to Tie Square Scarves:


How to Tie a Square Bandana Scarf

Bandana

Fold your scarf in half on a diagonal so that it forms a triangle. With the long edge facing up wrap the scarf around your neck and tie the two farthest corners together, so that the scarf hangs loosely around your neck. Rotate the knot to the back or side (depending on your preference) and adjust the drape to finish off the look.

Choker

Lay your scarf out flat on a diagonal. Fold the top and bottom points into the center so that they meet. From the edges that have formed roll the top and bottom up towards the center until they meet, and then overlap. Your scarf should now form a long thin strip. Wrap the scarf around your neck and tie with a double knot to secure. Rotate the knot to the side, back, or front (depending on your preference). How to Tie a Bow Tie Scarf






Bow Tie

From the edges that have formed roll the top and bottom up towards the center until they meet, and then overlap. Your scarf should now form a long thin strip. Wrap the scarf around your neck and tie a bow (as you would your shoelaces) in the front. Fluff the bow and voila, you have a feminine take on the classic bow tie.
