Black and white ~ Mousseline scarf in a weave knot

The days are starting cool and fresh now and one can feel the change in season coming. After a long summer it is wonderful to get out different clothes and pack the sun dresses away. Dressing in layers, as it can still get pretty hot in the afternoon!


H it Up!

    I glanced at that scarf and for a moment thought I was looking at some lovely summer greens you picked from a garden and laid out on a white cloth! Beautiful scarf and love the way it is tied on you.

    Thank you dear dd!

    Dear adesigna, I try and explain but please tell me if it is not clear and I will try thinking of something else.

    1.Fold your scarf in the basic bias fold
    2. Place around your neck and loop it around once (not to tight around your throat). The ends are now hanging down your front.
    3. Take one end (A) and feed through the loop you have created.
    4. Take the other end (B) and weave through the loop as well (on top of the first side of the loop and on top of A, then under the second side of the loop.
    5. Secure both ends with a double knot (It will be a tighter squeeze with a silk Carré than with the mousse that I used, but it is possible to do it with a nice result)

    Good luck!
