Recently a friend asked me for help tying a blanket scarf she received as a gift. Oversized scarves are a great winter accessory, but sometimes they can be a little overwhelming because, well, they are giant.
Today I’m sharing two ways to tie a blanket scarf, to make them feel a bit more wearable. One is they way I wore the scarf in this post, and also the tie from this post here.
{blanket scarf tie one: twisted loop}
- Take a long blanket scarf and fold it in half length-wise.
- Fold in half to find the center point.
- Place that point around your neck and tie ends.
- Take one end and twist through the loop around your neck.
- Repeat that step (with the same end) and twist through the loop again.
- Take what’s left of that same end (there shouldn’t be much) and tuck it under the loop.
- Now, take the other end and do the same thing, twisting it around the loop, then tucking the end underneath.
- You may need to fluff it a bit, pulling at each twist a little, to get the look you want.
{blanket scarf tie two: knotted triangle}
- For this look, use an extra-large square scarf.
- Fold it in half diagonally and hold so that the triangle points down towards your feet.
- Holding the ends, pull the scarf towards your neck (triangle is pointing down).
- Cross the ends in the back and pull them to the front.
- Take those ends and tie them (they will be on top of the other part of the scarf, the larger part).
- Fluff that knot (pull the ends or twist the knot itself) so that the ends point downwards rather than out to the side.
