I've noticed that scarves have gained popularity over the past few years, and they're not just a fall and winter fashion anymore.  There are many different looks that you can achieve with them.  I like wearing scarves, and I have been asked on a few occasions *how I had tied my scarf.  Scarves are that little something extra for your outfit, kind of like jewelry.  There are many different types of materials, colors and styles to choose from.






I've often seen some interesting and really cute ways in which others would wear/tie their scarves, and I'd find myself wishing I knew how to make mine look like theirs too.  I discovered some helpful websites all about scarves and scarf tying, along with step-by-step instructions.  I was pleased with my new knowledge of mastering scarf tying!  I enjoy experimenting with all of the new ways of tying my scarves with these helpers, and they may be of help to you too!


One website Scarves.com, had several photos of different styles of scarves for purchase, and also had instructions for how to tie a scarf.  Another website Scarves.net, where you can also purchase scarves from a huge selection with many different styles and types, displays many more scarf tying examples, 50 of them, along with how-to-steps and video too.  They offer information on:  how to tie a scarf; and also cleaning and storing your scarves.  There's a Master list for scarf tying that has, as I mentioned before, 50 different styles with written step-by-step instructions, along with video instructions.  They also offer an e-book with 28 pages full of scarf-tips and advice that will have you in scarf fashion, whether it's winter, summer or anytime, and did I mention the e-book is FREE?  Yep!...Just might want to take advantage of that freebie!





This is a very popular style that I see often, and as you can see here it's very easy to create!
The Four-in-Hand Knot

*Directions for -How I tied my scarf:  The technique I used on the purple scarf I am wearing in the photo above of me and Hubby, is simply begun similar to the example just above in the first small photo. Start with a U in the middle with both sides hanging down, the U should be shorter and the sides longer, then wrap each side inward until there is only a small tail hanging from the back of the U.(you can adjust accordingly until you get the desired look)  I like this tying method using thinner scarves as it can be more like a piece of jewelry, as well as a scarf.  So easy to create this look!  There is an example from one of the sites above for this method, it is the loop-d-loop.








I really like this Bow Tie method too.  A simple bow!





All tied up!...
