1. Classic loop
Fold scarf in half, wrap behind neck, slip both loose ends through the loop and tighten. Tip:This is a great technique for protecting your neck against the cold and tucking into a winter jacket.
2. Draped wrap
Hold scarf behind the neck off center. Wrap the longer side around your neck once then let both sides hang in front of you. Adjust so the draped hanging sides are even. Tip: Pull down loop for a more draped effect or wear it tight around the neck.
3. Neck wrap
Double wrap around the neck. Leave ends loose in front or tie them and twist off to the side towards your shoulder.
4. Bow tie
Double wrap scarf around neck, tie ends into a bow. Tip: Can be worn centered or twist bow to the side above the shoulder.

5. Twist
Start with a draped wrap. Then take each end and wrap each individually around that same side of the draped material. Tip: Can be twisted around as many or as few times for desired effect.
6. DIY infinity
Tie ends together in a small knot, leaving the scarf as one complete circle. Double wrap around neck, adjust so knot is in back and more covered.

7. Kerchief
Fold scarf in half then fold opposite corners to meet each other, making a triangle. Turn it upside down to make an upside down triangle. Take the two widest points, wrap around neck twice and knot in the front. Tuck knot under the scarf in the front to hide it.
8. Cowl neck
Wrap the scarf around over your shoulders. Grab the top two corners, crisscross them in front of you and tie behind your head. Adjust fullness of the drape in the front.
9. Wrap
Drape scarf over shoulders, pull down to cover arms. Tip: Wear draped like this or wrap ends around your back and tie. Pull the top down your back to create more of a poncho or cape effect.
10. Vest
Tie the top corner of each end of the scarf together. Open up to show two armholes and put one arm in each side like a vest. Tip: using a shorter scarf will create a shrug, a longer scarf will create a waterfall vest.
