How to Tie a Winter Scarf (Part 2 Blanket Scarf!)

Brr!! It's getting cold out and I'm so thankful I managed to snag a few of these nice, thick turtlenecks at JC Penney's black Friday sale! If I'm not wearing my favorite cozy white sweater (from this post), then you can bet I will be wearing one of these turtlenecks. Blanket scarves layered over one of these turtlenecks keeps me nice and warm. A few weeks ago I did a post on How to Tie a Square Blanket Scarf. Today's post is a follow-up to that post, showing you another way to wear your square blanket scarf. Also, I've included the simplest way to tie an oblong winter scarf.

Blanket Scarf Style #2

For this look, start where we left off on the last tutorial. The scarf will have two ends hanging down.

1. Take the two ends of the scarf and tie them in a knot under the scarf.

2. Make sure to fluff the top of the scarf, especially around the neck to make sure the fullness looks even with the knot now under the scarf.

Simple Way to Tie an Oblong Scarf

FYI: It was VERY windy when we shot these. So...sorry!

1. Bunch/Roll the scarf. I like to have it so that it is mostly just bunched, but the two edges are turned inward towards each other.

2. Position your scarf around your neck in such a way that one side is 2-3 times as long as the other side. (I actually had to adjust this one a little more as I was tying it)

3. Wrap the long end of the oblong scarf around the back of your head.

4. Tuck that long end of the scarf under itself (the part wrapped around neck).

5. Fluff the front and roll the back of the scarf so that the part tucked under is closer to the back of the neck than the side. (I'm not super happy how the final photo turned out but it was SO COLD and I didn't look at the pics before I called it quits! Whoops! - It really should end up looking more like the photo below from Forever21.
