How to Choose the Right Scarf:

The length of the scarf is the most crucial factor in choosing the right one for tying. A longer scarf is better for more complicated knots that require wrapping around multiple times, whereas a shorter scarf is best for basic drapes around the neck. The fabric is also important, choose a lightweight scarf for warmer seasons. On the other hand, a heavy, woolen scarf is ideal for winter to keep warm.

19 Different Scarf Tying Ideas:

1. The Braid

Fold the scarf in half and put it over your neck. Take the loose ends of the scarf and pull them through the loop. Twist the loop and then pull the ends through again. Keep twisting and pulling until you run out of scarf.

2. The Cowl

Wrap the long end once around your neck, leaving one section shorter than the other. Take the long end and wrap it once more around your neck, and then tuck in the loose ends. The fringe can be left to hang in the front for a trendy look.

3. Classic Loop

Fold the scarf in half and put it behind your neck. Take both ends to the front and pull the loose ends through the loop.

4. Knotted Necklace

Fold a lightweight scarf in half and place it around the back of your neck. Tie a knot on one side followed by the other. Take the loose ends, tie them together, turn the scarf around so that the knots are in front and the ends at the back.

5. The Shawl

Drape the scarf around your shoulders and let the ends hang down on each side in front.

6. French Knot

Fold the scarf in half and put it on your shoulders. Take the end piece and pull it over the scarf loop, then under. Take the other end piece, and go under and over the same loop.

7. False Knot

Wrap the scarf behind your neck. Wrap one end around your hand and pull it through to make a loose knot. Take the other end, go over and under the knot and then over again.

8. Simple Neck Knot

Wrap a small scarf around your neck twice, bringing both ends together at one shoulder. Tie them together once and toss one end over your back while the other stays around the front.

9. Double Bandana

Take a long scarf and fold in half lengthwise. Knot the diagonal ends together. Put it around your neck, turn it once and loop again.

10. Hidden Knot

Loop a long scarf once around your neck. Make a half knot with the long ends, up near your neck. Pull the neck loop fabric over the half knot.

11. Slouchy Turtleneck

Evenly place the scarf around your neck. Loop one end around your neck, then repeat with the other. Tuck the loose ends up inside the scarf.

12. Twisted Turtleneck

Like the slouchy turtleneck (see #11), twist the scarf before wrapping it around the neck. It can be wrapped tightly for a turtleneck look or left loose for a more relaxed look.

13. The Tie Loop

Wrap the scarf around your neck, so the ends are even in front. Cross the left side over the right, then bring it behind and up through the hole around your neck. Pull the end of the right side toward the left and up through the loop. Adjust the knot until it resembles a loose men’s tie.

14. Two-sided Twist

Put two favorite scarves back to back. Loop once around your neck and turn the fabric, so both sides show.

15. Single Side Bow

Wrap the scarf around your neck. Cross one side over the other. Gather a loop in the right side of the scarf. With the left side, wrap it around the loop. Loop it like tying a shoelace. Adjust the knot and tie it, so the bow sits on your shoulder.

16. Knotted Shawl

Wrap the scarf around your shoulders like a shawl and make a half-knot with the loose ends. Pull the ends tight and up high on your back. Pull the scarf fabric down to cover the ends.

17. Rolled Loop

Wrap the scarf once around your neck. Take each scarf end up and over the neck loop.

18. Double Loop

Wrap the scarf twice around your neck. Take one end over and down through the neck loops and tie the ends together.

19. Twisted Necklace

Wrap the scarf around your neck, tie once at the front, bring the ends up and over your shoulders. Tie a knot where they meet at the back.
