Butterfly Wrap

Step1
Fold a square scarf using the bias band fold.

Step2
Let it hang around your neck with roughly one third of the scarf on one side (A) and two-thirds on the other (B), and cross these as illustrated.

Bring A upwards to make it pass through the cross so that a sort of loop is formed.

Step4
After tossing A underneath B, let it pass through a second loop again.

Step5
Pull one end firmly; your butterfly wrap is ready!


Casual Swing

Step1
Fold the square scarf according to the bias band fold. Now, fold it in half lengthwise such that both the ends are on one side (A) and the other side forms a hoop (B). Let it dangle around your neck in this format. Please refer to the illustration.

Step2
Take one end from side A and let it pass through hoop (B).

Now give the hoop one twist, and make the other end from side A pass through the empty opening in the hoop (B).

Step4
The resulting shape should be as shown in the illustration.


Crown Wrap

Step1
Drape the rectangular scarf over the head off-centered so that one end hangs much farther down the body than the other.

Step2
Gather the ends of the scarf at the nape of the neck and cross them behind the head.

Step3
Form a "rope" by twisting the longer end; then lay along the front edge of the scarf over the top of the head, approximately 1-2 inches from the edge.

Step4
Continue the twist around to meet the other, shorter, end of the scarf and knot the two ends together.

Step5
The ends can be left loose to drape over or behind the shoulder, or may be guided along the back of the head and tucked under the scarf.

Twist a folded oblong scarf as illustrated. Hang around your neck.
