Weekly Scarf-Tying: Crossed Knot & More
A beautiful silk scarf can add personality and polish to even a simple outfit, and this week we have several intermediate fancy knots to try. You can find instructions for the first crossed knot below, but make sure to visit the Facebook reel for more!
This crossed knot creates an interesting woven effect at the front while allowing the soft texture and color of your scarf to shine.
Steps
Start with an Even Loop
Action: Loop the scarf loosely around your neck, keeping both sides even.
Result: You should have a relaxed loop at the front, with the two scarf ends hanging at approximately the same length.
Create a Second Loop
Action: Take the central loop and twist it to create a second loop fully in front of your body.
Result: You will now have the foundation for the crossed detail.
Cross One Side Over the Loop
Action: While holding your newly formed loop in place, take the left side of the scarf and cross it so it overlays the right side of the loop.
Result: The scarf begins to form the first part of the crossed design.
Complete the Crossing
Action: Cross the scarf so it also overlays the left side of the loop, continuing to hold the formed loop securely in place.
Result: You should now see the crossed structure taking shape at the front.
Bring the Ends Together
Action: Gather the two ends of the scarf together and bring them underneath the loop.
Result: Both ends should now be positioned below the central crossed section, ready to pass through.
Feed the Ends Through
Action: Feel for the opening of the loop and gently feed both scarf ends through it.
Result: The crossed knot will come together as the ends pass through the loop.
Adjust the Finished Knot
Action: Gently adjust the scarf for evenness and symmetry.
Result: Your crossed knot should sit neatly at the front, with the scarf arranged evenly around your neck.
Try this crossed knot with your favorite scarf and see how it works with different outfits and occasions.
