Happy Sunday, dear Scarflandians!
I’m so excited to be the host of our weekly theme SOTD! It's an honor for me. I appreciate that @Living.la.vida.fifi invited me to host this week, thank you so much for giving me an opportunity to participate in this wonderful thread. And many thanks to @Cookiefiend for guiding us through the amazing week of Sweetheart Silk
This week’s theme is Tying the knot: Your favorite ways to wear a scarf.
There’s something special about Hermès' scarves – I love their rich colors, exceptional graphics and unrivaled silk quality! There are many ways to enjoy this marvelous silk. It would be great to hang it on the wall with frame, but I prefer to wear it as the ultimate accessories that enhance our daily outfit . I think many of you will agree with me!
As you know, Hermès' scarves are so versatile and can be worn in various ways. I think the biggest charm of this scarf is that you can make it look totally different depending on how you wear it. It interested me that there were no fixed rules or instructions.
So I decided to make a different knot every day when I started recording my SOTD on my Instagram account. It was very interesting to make diverse knots with one scarf. Through these works, I think I have a better understanding of how many details they have hidden in one scarf and how carefully they organized the color arrangement. It’s like a exploring – yes, in a nutshell, we are explorers of this small world of 34x34 inches!
Back to the point, this week, let's share the knots that you love! From fancy knots to simple but useful knots, any knot will do if you like it and enjoy it.
The knot I'm going to show you today is the knot method I showed you in my previous post. My little boys call it a ‘Snail knot.’
1. With Parures des Samourais :
It’s my all time best scarf!

This knot's tutorial is started in 1:37 min of this video. Hope it helps you!
Dear Scarfies, please enjoy this week’s SOTD theme and share us your favorite knots! I am looking forward to seeing your magical ways to arrange our treasured silk
Oh my gosh! That looks so pretty, so complicated, but it’s so easy! I love it! This is the sort of thing that makes scarves such a great accessory...you can do things with them that makes them feel entirely different and makes them work for any style outfit, unlike almost any other type of accessory. I wish I had known this earlier and not been so intimidated by them. Plus they bring the eye to your face...a major plus for anyone whose body is less than model perfect (like mine)... and the colors in it can let you wear any color top, but still have only flattering colors near your face!
Thank you for sharing these videos and this knot style!

You can see the two bows closely in the picture belowView attachment 4998504
I previously posted that I would put all the references of my knots this week. This knot is so famous and I think many of you scarf ladies already know how to do it... But to keep my promise, I recommend dear Maitai's tutorial! I love her wonderful knots always.
Half bow knot
Starting point: Basic bias fold Take one of the scarf's ends, and slide up an Anneau Infinity scarf ring (here a lacquered Anneau Infinity in ivoire). Don't slide it too far up, but keep it near the corners, where there is the least bulk of fabric. Take the other end, and pinch the fabric as...maitaicollection.com
And, I'll post my 'Double Half Bow Knot' tutorial. it's a humble tutorial as usual, but hope you like it!
+) Oh and does anyone know the tutorial URL of BFK? I fell in love with BFK when I saw @Pirula 's beautiful knot, but I don't know how...I really want to try it, too! Please let me know if you know how. I really appreciate if you can help me! ♡
So many beautiful scarfs!
Thank you, bunnycat, I get a lot of use out of it, it goes with most of my coats for late autumn, winter and early spring- almost 7 month a year here
Cookiefiend - Yes, It was exactly like thatHow beautiful! Selle d Ófficier en Grande Tenue is one of H’s wonders - flat you think “I don’t get it”; tied you think “Zomg! It’s fab!”
Thank you for sharing the candles too!

I think its very interesting that Diptyque collaborate with Hermes designers.

I guess you are perfectly right that we happen to live in the same city! I also have mixed experiences in that shop, for sure. I have been there several times for years due to my interest in perfumes, the lack of knowledge was...shocking, really. When it comes to scarves/ shawls, I have now found one SA that I trust, because he refers to the designers names, and know the name of the scarf. As a do myself. And he is quite entusiastic as well. Its a very knowledgeable woman there, but I get almost dizzy of all the talking. I prefer that the SA is able to see what suits me, and my style. My first one, I bought in in Paris, and was so stressed afterwards due to customs, so I left the box and receipt behind, and walked on "green". My friend was stopped and checked, so after that I dont take the chance if I am over the amount limit for free tax. But luckily, I have very good friends who live abroad and can help me out.From one of your earlier posts, I believe we live in the same city near the North Pole
So - maybe - if I happen to see a lady with a H-scarf, its actually you
These look fab!! Can’t wait to try it. Still loving that 1st scarf!!Much gratitude to our savvy knot miester-YSD for sharing this snail knot.
Enjoying it immensely for it’s 90-taming ability, ease, and have been employing it often with it’s variations:

Great knot and WoWW!! The colors in your Zambezi are fabulous!One of my go to winter knots is what I call an infinity knot (maybe it has a better name somewhere else??? Who knows!) I did a tut for it over in the "how to" thread in the Ref Lib with I highly recommend! So many of our lovely members have contributed there, with many amazing knots and lots of new ideas in the last 4-6 pages!

Here are the steps for doing an "infinity" style knot with a 90. You can also use a maxi twilly or a maxi twilly cut too with an extra wrap around the neck. Bias fold and put center at back of neck ends are in front, and cross them over each other then wrap them around each other and take...forum.purseblog.com
Sharing the asymmetrical shawl double knot with Le Jardin de la Maharani @HoneyLocks
1) Start with a 90 cm scarf
2) Fold it in half
3) Fold it in half again
4) Put the scarf on your shoulders with the folded edge against your neck
5) Grasp the folded corner from one outside edge of one shoulder in one hand and the open outer corner from the other shoulder in your other hand and pull in opposite directions.
6) I don’t have enough hands to perform the last step and photograph it at the same time. I am showing what step 5) looks like on the floor, this is the shape on your shoulders.
7) Secure the two corners you are holding with a knot
8) Secure the remaining free corners with a knot
9) Twist and fluff, enjoy!
