Hello, on behalf of Expert Village my name is Rochelle Bartholomew and I'm here to teach you how to tie a sarong or pareo. I teach fashion at the college level and one of my classes was teaching how to tie a sarong or pareo and my students were amazed at the many different variations there are and today I'm going to teach you several ways that you can make a skirt, dress, turban, tube top or pocket book. The sarong is just a piece of material, cotton, silk, any fabric that is one yard by two yards in a rectangular shape. And they make bright colors to represent the tropics. I'm going to show you the basic tie first of all. It's a right and then tie or a square knot. Cross the two in the back twelve inches in, you're going to cross it over and drop it, and pull it through, that's a simple knot. Then you will arrange it on your hip or in front of your belly button or to the side like you had. Now to make a right handed knot you continue, you drop the top piece under the bottom and pull it through the loop you just made. That's a right knot. Again, you can wear it to the middle or to the side. That's your basic pareo skirt.
