How to Tie a Scarf: Pleated Drape Style

There are many ways to tie a scarf such as Slip Knot, The Bib, Accordion Bow, Fake Bow, Flower Knot and this one the Pleated Drape.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

Instructions

Things You'll Need:

• Square scarf large enough to go around the neck.

1. Choose a scarf large enough to go around your neck. This one works very nicely with a scarf with a contrasting solid edge. Also, a scarf with many colors looks fantastic made into this style.

2. 
   Loose Knot

   Fold your scarf to make an oblong. If you use a scarf with the solid contrasting edge, fold with the ends to the outside. Make a simple loose knot at one end. (Keep the knot loose because you will be bringing the scarf back through this knot.)

3. 
   Accordion Pleated End

   Fold the other end into an accordion pleat. Leave enough scarf between the pleats and the knot to go around your neck.

4. 
   Colorful Accessory

   While holding the pleated end, drape the scarf around your neck. Push the pleated end into the knot. Tighten the knot and fan out the pleats.

Tips & Warnings

• Can be worn with the pleats to the front or on the side.
