Lay the scarf out flat, then take two opposite corners and fold them into the centre, one after the other. Repeat until the scarf is your required width.  b.

Tying your scarf Simply taking the two ends of a scarf and tying them together will usually result in a lumpy, unsightly knot. Instead try the following techniques for tying elegant knots: 1. The 'fake' knot First tie a neat knot in one end of the scarf. Then simply slip the other end of the scarf through the knot and adjust so that both ends are of similar length.  2. The square knot This makes a smooth, well proportioned knot that lies flat. It is really a double knot - take care to do the actual tying with the same end of the scarf for both knots.
