Foulard de la semaine



Shown here are a couple of simple knots.  Start with one of the basic folds for square scarves from last week's video.

I like a granny knot for a more casual, unstudied look.  A square knot is fine if you prefer, but will look more "done." 

The second look is great for wearing with a jacket or suit, but also works with a tee shirt and jeans when you don't want the ends flapping around or dragging in your soup.

Here's a pic of the scarf used:

    How big a square are you using?

  9. Thank you, thank you. I was admiring a librarian the other day who had tied her scarf in that square knot. I wondered how she had done it, but didn't have opportunity to ask. Now, I know!

  12. I always seem to tie my scarves the same way, so thanks for the inspiration! Btw, maybe it's my computer, but the oct 29 video doesn't seem to play...

  16. Dear Pseu, Just wondering how you learned to tie your scarves with such ease? Do you have a large collection? I seem to favor the longer rectangular shape at the moment. What is your favorite scarf and tie? Merci!

  22. cg - thank you so much. I'm glad you enjoy these; I have fun doing them!

    The Clever Pup - thank you! Hermès scarves always have so much incredible detail in the print. I consider them wearable art.

    Patricia - thank you!

    Terri - you're very welcome. I'm happy to be of assistance!

  23. Spacegeek - you're very welcome! I was just able to play it, maybe it just had trouble loading?

    SewingLibrarian - it's "Les Toits de Paris" and I found it through www.luxury-scarves.com. They have a "wishlist" feature and will notify you if a scarf you're looking for has become available.

    Elizabeth - thank you so much!

    Marguerite - thanks! I have several scarves of different sizes and shapes. Really, I just kept playing and experimenting, and trying to copy things I liked. It's really just a matter of practice.

    Marsha - thank you! And I always say, "If you didn't vote, don't complain!"

    materfamilias - thanks so much!

    The Style Crone - thank you, and I love what you did with your large scarf today!
