2Fold corners into a triangle

Grasp the right corner and bring it over to align with the left corner, folding the scarf in half and creating a triangle shape.

3Wrap the scarf and tie ends

Taking the ends of the scarf in both hands, bring it up to your chest so that the triangle’s point hangs down and the middle of the scarf’s long, straight edge touches the front of your neck. Crisscross the ends behind your neck, bring them around to the front, and knot.
