How to Tie Two Scarves Together

No matter your end goal, tying two scarves together is fairly simple once you decide which scarves you want to pair! You can create an extra-long scarf that’s fun to twist and tie into a variety of styles; or, you could fold two scarves around each other so you have different styles and patterns laying side by side for a fun visual effect. When people ask where you got your scarf from, you can enjoy telling them that you created the combination yourself.

[Edit]Steps

[Edit]Creating an Extra-Long Scarf

1. Choose two scarves with complementary colors or patterns. Part of the fun of combining two scarves is getting to create a new look with familiar pieces. Take into consideration what the rest of your outfit will look like, and try to choose scarves that share similar colors or hues. You could add in fun, eye-catching detail by choosing one scarf that has a different texture, like sequins, metallic pieces, or unique fabric.^[1]
   
   • For example, a mustard yellow scarf paired with a black, glittery scarf would look nice with a grey top and jeans or leggings.
   • Consider pairing a striped scarf with a solid one to add some variety to your outfit.
   • If you’re not sure of how two scarves will look together, lay them out on your bed side-by-side. You could even put the top you want to wear underneath of them to see how everything comes together.
2. Tie the ends of two flat-edged scarves together to create one long scarf. Hold one end of each scarf in one hand each. Cross the ends over each other to form an “X,” then wrap the end of one of the scarves under and around the other. Hold the two ends so they’re facing up, cross them to form another “X,” and pass one end underneath and through the opening to create a knot. Tug the ends to tighten the knot so it doesn’t come undone easily. Leave the opposite ends undone.^[2]
   
   
   • This works best with thinner scarves, like ones made of silk or satin, but you can do it with thicker ones, too.
   • Don’t worry about the knot being visible. You can cover it up by layering the scarf around your neck or hiding the knot under your hair. You could also simply let it show—it looks a little like a bow and won’t detract from your outfit.
3. Connect two tassel-edged scarves by knotting the tassels together. Lay your scarves out on a flat surface and line up the edges so the tassels are facing each other. Tie the tassels together in bows by crossing them to make an “X” and bringing one tassel down and around the other. Make a circle with one of the tassels, holding it in place between your thumb and forefinger. Wrap the second tassel around the circle and your thumb to create a loop, then pull that tassel through the loop you just made to create a bow.^[3]
   
   
   • Tying the tassels in bows will make them much easier to undo. To release the knot, all you have to do it tug on one end of the tassel.
   • Tie all of the tassels for a super-secure connection, or just tie some on the ends and in the middle to make it faster to undo later on.
4. Turn two scarves into an infinity scarf by tying all four ends together. Take an end from each scarf in your hands and cross them to make an “X.” Loop one end down around the other, and then bring both ends up and cross them into a second “X.” Bring one end through the hole you created to form a knot. Repeat this with the remaining two ends to create an infinity scarf.^[4]
   
   
   • Loop an infinity scarf around your neck once and let it hang down low for a more bohemian look.
   • Loop the scarf around your neck two or three times to let the different patterns and colors play off each other side-by-side.

[Edit]Showcasing Two Scarves Side-by-Side

1. Pick two long scarves with colors or patterns that look nice together. While the scarves don’t have to match or even be the same color, they do need to accentuate each other. Try laying two scarves side-by-side on the bed to see how they look; you could also put out the rest of your outfit to see if the entire outfit will look cohesive.^[5]
   
   • For example, a forest green scarf paired with a tan scarf would look nice with a dark brown dress and boots.
   • Or, try pairing a bright red scarf with a pink and white striped scarf for a brighter, yet complementary, addition to your outfit.
   • This style won’t work with infinity scarves.
2. Fold both scarves in half so they’re half the length they normally are. Place one scarf in each hand and let them drape down toward the ground; adjust them so that their ends are even. Or, you could lay them out on the bed and fold them in half.^[6]
   
   
   • The most important thing is to make sure the ends are even so that one side isn’t longer than the other.
   • For this particular look, it’ll help if the scarves are relatively the same length. Otherwise, the connected scarf might look lopsided once you’re wearing it.
3. Place one scarf overtop of the other so that they form an “X.” Hold one scarf in each hand. Layer one scarf on top of the other so that you see the letter “X” when you look down at them. You could also lay them on the bed and create a big “X” if that’s easier.^[7]
   
   
   • Remember to try and keep the ends of the scarves even as you layer them.
4. Drop the top scarf so it folds around the bottom one. Grab both the ends of one scarf in one hand and both ends of the other scarf in your opposite hand. This essentially folds the scarves around each other so that one scarf will hang down on your left side and the other will hang down on the right.^[8]
   
   
   • The great thing about connecting the scarves this way is that you don’t have to knot the fabric. It works well with scarves made of thicker material or with fabrics that you don’t want to wrinkle.
5. Style the scarf by wrapping it around your neck or looping it another way. You could simply let the scarf hang around your neck for an easy addition to your outfit, or loop it around your neck once or twice to let the colors and patterns play off each other more closely. You could also tie the scarves in a bow, do a figure-8 knot, or braid the ends together.^[9]
   
   
   • At the end of the day, all you have to do to put your scarves away is pull them apart from each other.
