Next you can move on to some more scarf tricks - this time fold 2 gavroches just in half on the diagonal (making 2 triangles) and tie at the back either with a knot or small scarf ring like so:-
 |
I took a Hermes Fer a Cheval scarf ring next and
simply pulled the 2 ends through it to give
this effect
|
 |
By altering where you "park" the scarf
ring you can change the look slightly - here
the corners are more prominent.
|
 |
Here I made a Butterfly Knot - this one is fuller
because I did not tie the gavroches in
a single knot first.
|
 |
Here a tighter look achieved by tying
the scarves in a single knot first
|
 |
| A single knot. |
 |
| Pinch the 2 scarves together in the middle. |
 |
Thread your scarf ring onto the pinched ends -
here I used a plain silver band (from QVC)
|
 |
Pull the scarf through and then open out
the ends to form the Butterfly effect. (They
are not opened out yet in this pic!)
Watch out for the final installment!

Oh wow! SO many variations and great ways to make these often 'redundant' scarves wearable.

Hi PP - you're welcome - glad you can make use of these ideas! SAx
DeleteWow, you're the queen of that butterfly knotting!
ReplyDeleteMaybe it's the lack of a suitable ring or my hamfistedness, but I can never pull this off. It's one of the methods of scarf tying, along with the waterfall knot, that ought to look the most impressive and yet ends up as an obviously-gone-wrong look on me!!
Hi PW - ooh thank you! The butterfly is really dead easy so it must be the lack of a suitable ring!! We'll have to find you one! SAx
