How to Tie a Scarf

I have no doubt, Madam, that you have grown tired of wearing the square scarf in the old way. That is only natural, and who could blame you, when we all know that monotony, wherever it is found, is tiresome. So before you cast it aside altogether, wait, and let me show you five new ways of tying this kind of scarf. At least one of them is sure to win your approval, adding charm to your face, and taste and grace to your appearance.

The First Way

Take the scarf by two opposite corners, fold it into a triangle, then roll it until it becomes a band or ribbon, which you tie around a chignon worn high.

The Second Way

Take the scarf and fold over a portion of it on the bias, so that its edge matches the curve of your face, leaving enough to cover your hair at the back. After placing it on your head, bring the corners together under your chin, then wind them around your neck and tie them at the back so that they hold all the ends of the scarf.

The Third Way

Again on the bias, fold the scarf up to its middle in even pleats, then place it on your head, leaving the front corner protruding. The knot under your chin holds the pleats in place.

The Fourth Way

Fold the scarf twice over without slanting it much. After placing it on your head, tie it at the side, then hide the hanging ends under the knot.

The Fifth Way

Fold the scarf twice over without slanting it, then place it on your head and gather the four corners under your chin, fastening the two front corners with a knot over the two back corners.
