How To Make a Bandana Wrap

This is a method of scarf wearing that is traditionally done using a bandana (or small scarf). It provides a neat-looking result and looks especially good worn with a blouse and skirt/pants with the blouse collar turned up.

Scarf Style Needed: Square Scarf (120 cm square)

Tying the Scarf:
Fold the square scarf diagonally from corner to corner. Turn down the folded edge to create a fold approximately 1 to 1-1/2 inches wide. Continue folding this edge again and again until approximately ½ of the triangle is left free.

Drape the folded scarf around the neck so that the turned down side is against the neck and the coiled ends are hanging in front of the body. Tie the two coiled ends together and knot them, leaving as much of the coiled ends hanging free as possible.

This style of tying creates a shawl effect on the shoulders and a tie effect in front. It is casual, but sophisticated, and is perfect for afternoon lunches and daywear in general.

Wear a Scarf to Highlight Your Beauty

Scarf Styles: Throughout history, scarves have been made from a variety of fabrics - from heavy wool knits to fine silk weaves, patterned or plain - each style appropriate to its setting or the fashion of the period. Today, fashion scarves are commonly made from silk, rayon or acetate, which offer a light weight, fluid movement, strength, and a shimmering finish. Other common fabrics for scarves are cotton and wool, which make for a slightly heavier scarf, with structure and often textured finishes. Scarves come in many sizes and shapes, and many are designed for specific uses.
