Tips & Warnings

• This simple knot works well with round-necked tops.

• Hand wash or dry-clean your scarves regularly depending on frequency of wear. The oils in your skin and general dirt can render vibrant colors flat and lifeless.

• Iron your scarf on a low setting when you notice that the ends are starting to curl.
