Wear a Scarf Over the Shoulder

Scarf Style Needed: Square Scarf (120 cm square)
1. Fold your square scarf diagonally.
2. Take each side of the main fold and fold back and forth into an accordion-style fold one-inch deep.
3. Open the main fold and hold the accordion folds flat.
4. Pinch the scarf to hold the folds in place and drape the scarf over the shoulder.
5. Fan the scarf over the shoulder and down the back in a cape-like fashion.

Tying the Scarf:
Take your square scarf and fold it in half diagonally. If the scarf has a specific front and back, make sure the "front" is folded to the inside. Fold the ends back upward until approximately 1 inch remains folded. Continue folding in opposite directions until one layer of the scarf is folded in an accordion style.

Flip the scarf and repeat the process to create an accordion fold on the other side of the center fold. Open the center fold and lay it flat with the remaining folds intact underneath. Pinching the folds to hold them in place, drape the folded scarf over the desired shoulder and pin the scarf in place with the desired piece of jewelry.

The point at which the scarf is pinned should be between the breast and shoulder. Once the scarf is securely placed, the trailing end can be allowed to fan out over the shoulder and down the back.
