The right knot in your scarf will not only make you look fashionable, but also provide more warmth and protection against bad weather. When it's cold, the right scarf knot can save you from a bitter winter and maybe even illness. For best results, you should use a real winter scarf - a long, rectangular piece of warm fabric, such as wool, fleece, or cashmere.

Method 1 of 3: Wear a scarf in cool weather

1. Try the simple drape. This style of wear is perfect in cool weather. It's easy to put on or take off when the sun comes up and the early winter's day warms up. To "tie" your scarf, simply put it over your neck so that each end of the scarf hangs evenly.
2. Turn your scarf over once. This method provides a little more warmth to your neck, making it more suitable for windy days. Place your scarf over your neck so that the right side is longer than the left side, then take the long side across the front of your body and around your neck, and put it back so that it hangs on the right side.
3. Give your scarf a simple knot. This button is a bit more chic and can be perfect for a business meeting, a date or on a chilly evening on the town. With your scarf around your neck and the right side longer than the left side, take the long end over your chest and over the short end, loop the long end around and under the short end and pull it through so it's on top of the other comes to lie.
4. Enjoy the "chest warmer". This button is very simple, but is perfect for when the temperature starts to drop a little more to the chilly side, especially if you only wear a thin jacket. Keeping each side the same length and around your neck, cross both ends at the front of your chest, around your sides, and tie the ends together behind your back with a knot of your choice.

Method 2 of 3: Wear a scarf in cold weather

1. Look forward to the warmth with the reverse drape. This is a very common style, probably because of its excellent protection and easy method. Wrap your scarf around your neck with the ends flush and tuck both ends over the front of your body. Now you can tighten your scarf as comfortably as possible and let whatever remains of each end hang behind you.
2. Go European with a Parisian knot. Often seen on the slopes, this knot provides a buffer against the cold and can be tied in an instant. Fold your scarf in half so that you are holding it by the loop in your right hand, with both ends dangling loosely together. Wrap the loose ends around your neck, bring them across your chest and thread both ends through the loop in your right hand.
3. Make a real fake button. The great thing about this style is that it is both warm and elegant and gives the impression of an intricate knot on your neck. First, make the right end of your scarf longer and do the following:
   • Take the short end of your scarf around your neck.
   • Make a loop on the long end so that it comes back under itself, leaving the loop loose.
   • Pull the long end under itself to the other side, keeping the loop.
   • Gently thread the long end through the loop.
   • Connect the short end with the long by pulling it through the loop.
   • This particular style may need a little more length at the long end than usual.
   • After putting the short end of your scarf through the loop of the long end, you can pull lightly on each end until the knot is comfortable and both ends are roughly even.

Method 3 of 3: Put on a scarf in freezing cold

1. Secure yourself from freezing weather with the "double-om". Simple and safe to defend against wind and bitter cold, the "double-om" is a great quick knot for your winter scarf.
   • Leave the right side considerably longer than the left, which you should take behind your back or neck and let it hang loosely.
   • Take the long end around your front, behind your neck, and repeat this movement again.
   • Now the long end and short end should be about the same length, with the short end on your left and the long end on your right.
   • You will probably need a longer scarf (about 2m) for this style to actually tie it.
2. Fight the freezing weather with the darned reverse draping. A stylish look for real protection against polar cold. With the right side longer than the left side and your scarf around your neck, do the following:
   • Wrap the long end around your neck, around your neck and then under itself.
   • Now you can take the short end and pull it under the long end, crossing it across your chest to drape with the long end.
3. Avoid the arctic sky with the crossed reverse drape. With the right end of the scarf longer and the short end already around your neck, do the following:
   • Take the long end across your chest, around and crisscross around your neck.
   • Cross the front again to leave the long end on top of the short end.
   • Now take the short end up and over the long end and pull it behind the long end to the other side.
4. Ward off cold with the "braid". Fold your scarf in half so that you are holding it on a loop with your right hand and with the loose ends dangling. Wrap the loose ends around your neck and:
   • Take the end that is on the inside and pull it through the loop as far as possible to the right.
   • Move the loop slightly inward and across your chest.
   • Twist the loop to create a bend in the fabric that separates the inner end from the loop end.
   • Pull the outer end of your scarf through the loop, the twist separating the inner and outer ends.

Tips

• Most of these winter scarf knots can be tied with medium length scarves (about 1.80m).
• If you are trying to tie an intricate knot, or one that requires a few loops or intersections, you may need a long scarf (about 2m).
