Tube scarves come in knitted form or are made from fabric, and they make wonderful accessories for any outfit. There are a variety of ways to tie them, which allows you to use them to keep your neck and chest warm or to simply make a fashion statement. Whether you knot or loop and slide the scarf, you will want to try different methods. Some tube scarves are straight and long, while others are connected in a round style. Either way, they can be tied.

Straight Tube Tying—Loop and Slide

Lay the tube scarf out straight on a flat surface. Fold it in half binging the two ends together.

Pick the folded scarf up and while facing a mirror, place it around your neck with the folded loop end on one side of of your chest and the two loose ends on the other side of your chest.

Slide the two loose ends through the loop and pull them down until the scarf sits where you want it. This loop-and-slide method can be used to make the scarf tighter or looser.

Create a different knot by removing the scarf and wrapping it lengthwise around your neck. Pull the two loose ends together and grasp the center of the scarf. Wrap the two lengths around your hand forming a loop, tuck the loose ends through the loop and tuck them through.

Pull the loose ends down through the loop and tighten the knot or leave it loose to show off the tube scarf.

Connected Tube Scarf Tying

Place the open scarf around your neck and let it hang down the front of your torso.

Gather the scarf just above the center of the length. Wrap the gather around your hand.

Bring the remaining gathered scarf through the loop that you wrapped around your hand and pull it through. Tighten it slightly and fluff the remaining ends of the scarf so it becomes full.
