Scarf Style Needed: Square Scarf (120 cm square) Tying the Scarf: Fold the square scarf diagonally from corner to corner. Drape the folded scarf around the neck, passing the folded corners back over the shoulders. Cross the folded corners behind the neck and bring them forward over the shoulders once more.
