. . . but I can do most of these! Here’s a useful roundup of scarf stylings, that I found at Tip Junkie. The same article contains instructions on how to sew scarves (yes! people do that!). These styles look do-able and are a step up from my usual toss-around-the-neck-and call-it-a-day scarves.

Some of them look like duplicates, but I really like the pussy-bow idea in #2. The double wrap in #7 is chic and cozy, ditto #8. I’m not a fan of the point-in-the-front look (#1 and #9); it’s too Country and Western for me. I’ll often pull a #10 when taking a bike ride, for warmth, but it’s a lovely look for work too.
These are not the artistic looks one finds at the Hermes site (fabulous slide show!) but they cover about 80% of my scarfy-needs. How about you? Are you elementary, like me, or more advanced?
Oh, hey, Visible Monday is back for Monday December 31st! Everyone is welcome to participate!

So months ago, on your blog, I got the scarf "itch". I then bought scarves. Many scarves actually. But I have yet to style them. I am using this guide for help, I don't know why I am so scarf challenged. Thanks Patti. 🙂
Hands down, for me: the no. 8! I love the tassels, the way it collars the neck and of course the houndstooth!
I love to wear scarfs and try to mix up the way I wear them, but sometimes it is just a quick toss around and loop. Thanks for the inspiration
I adore seeing all the different ways to tie scarves but it seems like mine never turn out the way I want them to. I admire those who make it look so effortless. My favorite way of all is the pretzel method. It just looks good every time.
I would love to be advanced, but have a long way to go.. Thanks for the Hermes site and see you on the 31st!
Love #2 and #7
I pretty much always do the 4 in hand scarf tie, it's easy and versitile
Have a great weekend

Oh, count me in the just-fling-one-end-over-the-shoulder group! I recently learned (and promptly forgot) a scarf tie for a specific triangular beaded scarf – all these kinds of instructions just slide right off my brain and I'm always short on time!
I must admit that I am a baby when it comes to scarves- no talent at all. I just wind and flip. But so many women wear them with Olympian style. I do like a good old kerchief tied under the chin though.
So many options! I only use number 9 and number 11. What I also like is number 7 and as of late i have a so called loop – a scarf with no ends.
Love these looks!!!
that's my usual approach : >
I usually make them up as I go, depending on the fabric and the length. I just twist, wrap, or tie. Sometimes it's hard to get them undone!
All absolutely gorgeous scarves. I want the first one with a passion. Ah well.. I'm a toss and go scarf person. I know about 3 knots and if they don't work, well I fumble it together and call it good.
Ah, the pointy tip ones are bringing me back to the 80s! I normally just fling my scarf over my shoulder or wrap it around my neck a few times – call it lazy chic! – but it's nice to see something more formalised. And yes, you're right about the Hermes thing: I was given my first Hermes scarf this Christmas, and it came with a lovely set of cards showing the various ways to tie it!
I'm elementary like you. I can't be bothered with complicated scarf knots and such. I like #8 and #9. The cowboy tie is one of my favorites.
Thinking about what to wear for the next Visible Monday….I'll see you then! Happy Friday!
I'm definitely elementary. These are pretty options! -Marci @ Stone Cottage Adventures
I love wearing scarfs. Love #8 & #10.
Thank you for this post, Patti! I also love the number 2 look and I'm going to give it a try! Have a happy New Year!
#7 is my favorite look.I love the Hermes site and http://www.maitaispicturebook.com/ .You'd love to check it if you haven't already!
I love all of these. Scarves can really make an outfit.

Cute diagram! I find that lately I'm staying away from the more fussy scarf ties. But I do like to arrange scarves in a way that they stay put. I've often been tying ends of a long scarf together to make a DIY infinity, which is easy-peasy.
That's cool, Heather! I made one too from a regular scarf and was pleased with the outcome : >
I really like #2 and #8. I made an infinity scarf a couple of weeks ago and was pretty pleased with how it turned out! Heather
I agree with you on number 2, Patti! I will have to give that a try! Have a joyous New Year's Weekend!
