I'm a newcomer to gavroches. Bought my first one perhaps 2 years ago? I put them in a box and (shhhhh....) they breed.... 
Mythiques Phoenix gavs in 2 cws, tied two different ways. Tiny glass scarf ring courtesy of bunnycat's creativity
Monde du Polo and hermes.com with a Mors Ring after bunnycat's fab photos convinced me to spring for the ring.
The above is an exercise in colour contrast which works because of the bicolour Mors: cold silver vs warm gold, both colours also present as accent colours in the scarves.
Usually, I try to coordinate, which is easy because my gavs are stored by colour family. I also tend to consciously match disparate subject matter.

And green-yellow cws in both stellar L'Annee des Etoiles and earthbound Cavale Fleurie/Joyeuse.

So sometimes I just wear it folded around the neck as a mock turtle neck, or in a triangle. But the SA showed me this knot that creates a lot of volume and I think works great with gavroches. I am sure lots of other members will know it and will be much better than me at it, but I will try to demonstrate:
I am using this Brides de Gala gavroche:
First you place it upside down in a flat surface. Then you pick opposite ends and bring them side by side like so:
Then you turn the scarf and bring the two folded ends together into a small knot:
Then you turn the scarf again and fluff it a bit and adjust to which parts of the print you want to show and so,
Then you place the scarf around your neck, with the small knot towards the front on the inside and then bring the two loose ends to the back of your neck and tie;
I am showing it here just with a top so that is clear (although not sure that was clear enough?) but I like it with a jacket or coat, it kind of makes the most of the little fabric, I think, but feels so light you forget you’re wearing a scarf.

You style them beautifully. I only have two, having focused on 90s, but it is a size I am appreciating more and more.
Your phoenix is gorgeous! You are opening the door to temptation!
I like this very much! Thank you for taking the trouble to post - will have to try it ... I had my eye on one for a while hope it’s still available
This is the tie I was trying to remember in my post of 10 ways to tie a pocket square. It's a lot of fun! (It's way #7 in my pocket square post.)
It also works fab on the bandana size as well.
Indeed, no border in sight!Wow! I LOVE this knot!No edges. Lol!
Ah, glad to be of assistance to a master... I actually thought I was replying to that message of @ladysarah in another thread and didn’t realize it was here and all the great ideas that had been posted. I am keeping your list in a safe place!

it’s amazing, isn’t it - they are like bunnies! Got my first gavroche this summer - it replicated itself in a different color. Now there are a couple more on the way.
Jardin sur la Toit bias folded and 2 twists before knotting. Still learning on these little guys!
Edit: sorry for the humongous picture ☹️
Beautiful! This is the older version, right? I am still looking for this CW. So cute.
