Step
Method 1 of 2: Tying a Square Scarf
Step 1. Tie in a villain style
This is one of the most classic styles for a square silk scarf. Lay your scarf evenly on the table. Fold the two corners so that the corners meet, creating a triangle shape. Place the scarf around your neck with the largest corner of the triangle pointing down. Wrap your neck by bringing the ends of the scarf together, and tie them in a loose knot either at the top or bottom of the triangle, whichever you prefer.
Step 2. Create the base knot
Spread your square scarf on the table. Fold it in half so that the corners meet to form a large triangle. Then, starting at the widest part of the triangle, fold it in by 5, 1 – 7, 6 cm. This will create a rectangular scarf that you can loop around your neck and tie in a simple knot.
Step 3. Tie your scarf with a ribbon knot
Place your scarf on a flat surface and spread it out. Fold the scarf in half diagonally to form a large triangle. Roll the scarf until the fabric forms a small, long roll. Wrap it around your neck, and tie it with a simple knot and ribbon. Adjust the ribbon by tugging at the fabric for a fuller ribbon look.
Step 4. Tie in a classic ascot style
Fold your scarf into an old-fashioned ascot style. Fold your scarf in half diagonally to form a large triangle. Wrap the scarf around your neck so that the triangular part is at the back, and the ends are at the front. Tie the ends in a loose knot; You can tuck the triangle into the scarf a little at the back if you want.
Step 5. Tie the scarf in a faux-infinity style. Spread your scarf on the table. Fold your scarf in half in the middle, bringing the corners together to make a rectangular shape. Take a small section at the corner, and tie each pair of corners together. When you hold the scarf, it should form a large circle that can be tucked over your head to fit around your neck. If your scarf is too small to fit over your head, tie it directly around your neck instead of tying the ends first.
Step 6. Wear it as a bandana
A square scarf is perfect for tying your hair back. Fold the scarf in half diagonally to make a large triangular shape. Hang the scarf over your head with the ends at the nape of your neck, and a large triangle covering the top of your head. Tie the ends together in a knot under your hair to complete it.
Step 7. Tie like a headband
Hold your scarf and fold it in half diagonally, to make it as long as possible. Then, fold it into a long, narrow and 5, 1 – 7, 6 cm wide rectangle. Wrap it around your head with the ends at the top of your head. Tie the ends together to make a double knot over your head. The ends can be left alone or tucked into a scarf to complete it.
Step 8. Tie your scarf around your hair
A small square scarf can be made into a cute ribbon when tied to your hair. Style your hair into a bun or ponytail. Wrap it around your hair (keep it as wide as the scarf, or you can fold it to make it smaller) and tie the ends together to make a knot around the base of your hairdo. Use the leftover untied scarf to make a ribbon.
Method 2 of 2: Tying a Rectangular Scarf
Step 1. Wrap the scarf in a simple style
Take your scarf freely to create natural creases in the fabric. Wrap the scarf around your neck once, and then pull the loop you made so that the scarf hangs down to your chest. You can leave the ends of the scarf in front or behind you.
Step 2. Tie your scarf in a hack knot style. Fold your scarf in half, forming a loop if the ends are joined together. Wrap the scarf around your neck so that the hole/loop and tail are in front of your chest. Then, insert both ends of the scarf into the holes/circles, and arrange the scarf as you wish.
Step 3. Tie the scarf in an infinity style. Spread your scarf on a flat surface. Fold the scarf in half and tie each end to form a large circle. Then, loop the scarf around your neck, several times if necessary, so that no loose ends hang down.
Step 4. Tie the scarf in a faux knot
Wrap the scarf around your neck so that both ends hang over your chest. Take one end of the scarf, and make a loose knot in the middle. Then, thread the other end of the scarf through the middle of the knot. The knot can be moved up or down to tighten or loosen the scarf.
Step 5. Braid the tail end of the scarf
Make a hack knot on a scarf that has been folded in half around your neck, loop it around your neck, and then thread the ends through the loop. However, don't thread both ends into the loop, insert only one of them. Then take the circle and rotate it 180 degrees again to make a second circle. Thread the second end of the scarf through this loop, twist it another 180 degrees, and then repeat the process with the other end of the scarf. Do this process until the length of the scarf is finished braiding.
Step 6. Create a layered circle effect
Hang your scarf around your neck so that both ends of the tail are in front, but adjust the ends so that the right end is twice as long as the left. Then, cross the right end of the scarf over the left, and pull the right end of the scarf through the gap that forms under your neck. However, pull the right end from the center, and hang the loop you've drawn next to the left tail end of the scarf. This will form a small, flattened circle that hangs over the tip of the left tail (the short end of the right tail is hidden behind the circle).
Step 7. Tie your scarf like a tie
Hang the scarf around your neck but adjust the length so that the right end is twice as long as the left. Wrap the right end around the left end in a complete circle, and then cross it again over the left end. However, instead of wrapping around the left end again, pull it through the center hole (under your neck) and then tuck the tail end into the loop you just made by wrapping it around the tail. Pull the right end and trim the fabric to your liking.
Step 8. Make a chain knot on your scarf
Hang your scarf around your neck so that both ends are on your chest. Tie both ends in a single knot, adjusting the height to your liking. Then continue adding knots to make the chain, stopping until all the fabric is knotted or when you like the look of your scarf chain.
Step 9. Make the cloak tied
Unfold your scarf to make it really wide. Hang it over your shoulders like a cloak or scarf. Then, take both ends and tie them in a double knot in front.
Step 10. Tie your scarf into a ribbon
Long scarves are perfect for making large, dangling ribbons. Tie the scarf around your neck in a loose knot, and slide it slightly to the side. Then use the ends to make a classic bunny ear band. Spread the fabric slightly and loosen the ribbon for a more casual look.
