Who doesn't LOVE a great scarf!

1. Asymmetric scarf knot

a. Wrap scarves around your neck and two ends cross each other. The left end is above the right one.

b.The right end goes through the interval following the arrow direction.

Tip: This scarf knot gives you a rebellion spirit. Try and see how cool it is.

2. Symmetric scarf knot

a. Wrap the scarf around your neck and cross each other to make a knot.

b. Wrap the longer end around the neck and go through the interspace as in figure.

3. Necktie scarf knot

a. Wrap scarves around the neck and put the right end above the left.

b. Take the right end and wrap the left end with a full round.

c. Put the right end through the loop as in figure.

Tip: If not sure how to wear scarves with this knot, ask your husband or your friends how to tie a necktie. This scarf knot is good for a thinner scarf, such as silk scarves, either big square silk scarves or small square silk scarves.

4. Small butterfly scarf knot

1. wrap around the neck in a loop and make a knot with crossing each other.

2. Make an adjustment for the previous knot and make the second knot as in the picture.

Tip: This way is very easy and time saving. Try and make yourself more beautiful.

Here are a few more ideas that we found in our search for the perfect knot!

 

Have fun! Play!  You will find a style you LOVE!

Another Local Artist!

For some reason, every time we go to the show are drawn to interesting booths and many of the are in the Hudson Valley or the Berkshires. We are so excited to have another Local Artist in our Family. Look at these scarves! They are incredible! The colors are so vibrant and the fabrics are to die for! It's like wrapping your neck in a cloud!

Drawn to the textures, colors, and patterns found in nature, the resulting scarves are nubby and uniquely three-dimensional with a mixture of fabrics and tones. Those who wear them can express their own individuality and satisfy a need for style and comfort.
