The butterfly wrap is very popular in Jerusalem. Because it utilizes two scarves, it looks fuller and more elegant than a single-scarf wrap. Follow these easy instructions for tying a butterfly scarf wrap.

Difficulty: Moderately Challenging
Instructions

Things You'll Need:

  • Two scarves of complimentary colors. One can be fringed.
  1. Step 1

    Fold one non-fringed head scarf from corner to corner into a triangle.

  2. Step 2

    Lay the head scarf on top of your head, with an even amount of fabric hanging over each side and be sure it's almost down to your eyebrows.

  3. Step 3

    Place the second head scarf on top of the first, only further back, at the hairline.

  4. Step 4

    Roll the front of the first head scarf back on top of the second, creating a "headband" effect.

  5. Step 5

    Continue rolling down the sides until you get to the nape of your neck and tie off all four corners with a knot. This makes the butterfly.

Tips & Warnings
  • Be sure to select a fabric that isn't slippery.
  • You might need to practice the butterfly scarf tie several times until you find a way you like it.
  • If your hair is long, you might want to consider wearing a snood or pulling it into a ponytail before you begin so it doesn't get knotted into the fabric of your head scarf.
