The Bias Fold

The The Bias Fold is one of the several starting points in tying a square scarf. It basically converts a square scarf into a rectangle that can be then tied into a knot.

The Scarf Cape

The scarf cape is a nifty little knot to know - you can wear your scarf as a necklace or belt during the day and in the evening, when the temperatures drop, convert it to a cape that is both warm and a gorgeous accessory!
