This is a smaller (70cm x 70cm) silk square. Fold diagonally into an oblong shape, then tie a knot in the center, and one on either side of that one. Tie the ends in the back.
Love the way this tying technique turns the scarf into a necklace! I just discovered a center-knot technique for oblong scarves: http://www.pavoreal.com/scarftie.asp
metscan - actually the Hermès silk twill scarves stand up to being twisted and tied and crunched marvellously. If you look at the Hermès scarf tying booklets, they show some scarf contortions I haven't yet tried at home. :-) Now, I live a less humid climate, so take that into account, but even after I've worn a silk scarf knotted up all day, there are only a few shallow wrinkles when I take it off. Fold it and leave it for a few days, and those wrinkles have disappeared.

ReplyDeleteThanks, Nancy! The knot you linked to is intruiging. I'm going to have to try that one.
ReplyDeleteI've never seen this one before. It's great for a small pop of colour at the throat, like jewellery. Thanks for this one, Deja Pseu!
ReplyDeleteC'est fanstastique.
ReplyDeleteThis looks wonderful on you and I like the scale of the earring,"there" but does not overwhelm the scarf.
ReplyDeletesue - thank you very much. This is also a great way to wear a scarf when it's too warm to wear something close around your neck.
ReplyDeleteMiss Janey - merci bien!
Duchesse - thank you.
Just wondering-how do the scarves survive all this manipulation;twisting and rolling. Maybe you wouldn´t use your Hermes scarf in this purpose?

ReplyDeleteI'm trying this tomorrow.
