Ways to tie a scarf...

Hi there everyone! I can't believe this, but it is still cold in Florida! I woke up today and it was in the 50's, so it does seem it is warming up day by day :) Anything below 70 for me is cold, so people usually laugh when I go out in the cold weather; I am dressed like I would be seeing snow! I have mittens on, a scarf, coat, boots, you name it. It is a bit silly, but I stay warm and toasty <3 I don't get to break out my scarfs much here in Florida, but when I do, I like to be creative with them, don't you? Here are four really cute and easy ways to wear a scarf:


1. Short
Drape the scarf around your neck, keeping the left side slightly shorter. Cross the right side over and begin to tie a knot, without pulling the right side all the way through. It then becomes an unfinished knot, with the two ends uneven. Drape the pulled-out portion over the knot, making it look like a half bow.



2. Pashmina
Fold the pashmina in half. Position the center at the front of your neck, with the ends draped over your back. Crisscross the ends and bring them over to the front of your neck. Tie a loose knot at the front and tuck it underneath the wrapped portion of the pashmina, keeping that upper layer (which covers the knot) loose. Flatten out the ends over the chest as much as you can, making them less puffy. Gently pull down the top layer to cover the knot.
   

  


3. Artistic
Drape the scarf around your neck so both sides are even in length. Using only the right side, tie a loose knot in the middle of that side. Take the other side and simply thread it through the knot. Tighten the knot.




4. Long
The most simple, and popular, style is the European way. Fold the scarf in half creating a fold at one end and two loose ends at the other side. Drape the middle of the scarf around your neck, with the two ends on the left side and a loop on the right side—each facing forward. Slip the two loose ends through the loop and tighten.
