Finding And Securing Your Look
There are many different ways to put a scarf into play. The following are suggestions you can consider.
- Take a square piece of silk. Fold it across the diagonal into 2. Roll or fold it to create a tube. Tie it with a straightforward knot. Place the knotted ends at the side of the neck or at the back of the neck.
- Use a half knot. Take the long scarf and place it around your neck. Leave the ends hanging loose at the front with one end shorter than the other is. Take the long end and cross it over the shorter one. Put your hand approximately half-way down the longer section. Slide it up to where the 2 pieces of material intersect. This should create a loop. Pull the loop and the short piece of fabric’s end in opposite directions. Stop when the scarf feels comfortable.
- A simple and effective way to achieve an attractive look while highlighting the intricate design of the scarf is also simple. Take a long silk hand-painted scarf and fold it lengthways. Position the doubled fabric from back to front. In this position, the folded end and the free ends fall down the front beneath the chin. Take the free ends and proceed to feed them through the loop made at the fold. Pull to sufficient tightness.
- To pull off a chic look, position the centre of the silk scarf at the base of your neck. Make sure the 2 ends are at the front. Proceed to entwine one piece of material over the other to fashion a rope-like braid. When this is done from top to bottom, continue twining. The braid will start to double up on itself as it creeps closer to the neck. The result is a rosette effect. Conceal any excess behind the rosette.
