L'Atlantide

Hello lala28!
A bit off topic, but I'd love to know how you've tied your orange L'Atlantide as a top!
Is this done with two scarves, or just one?
I'd love knotting instructions!

Hello lala28!
A bit off topic, but I'd love to know how you've tied your orange L'Atlantide as a top!
Is this done with two scarves, or just one?
I'd love knotting instructions!

Here is my quick "how to" using two different 90 silk twill scarves. Sometimes I use two colorways of the same design; other times i use two scarves in different designs but in a similar color spectrum; as well as two contrasting colors and designs, depending on my mood.

Step 1: fold each scarf into a triangle. Position as indicated below.



Step 2: take the top end of each scarf and tie a knot behind your neck.



Step 3: make small double knots in the middle (where the scarves would meet in front of your torso) like this:



And a second double knot:



Note: you can do one to three small knots depending on how much skin you want to show!

Step 4: flip scarves over so that the knots are facing your body and can not be seen from the front view.





Step 5: put scarf top on your body, with the knot behind your neck and worn like a halter top. Take the free ends that are hanging down in the front and tie behind your back as shown.



Step 6: there will be "extra" free ends hanging in the front (from each of the scarf designs) that are too short to tie behind your waist. You can tie these in the front leaving the "tails" hanging in the front, or not tie them at all and leave them as is hanging down, or tie them in a double knot and tuck the ends up and into your new scarf top.













Hope this helps!
