My friend Kathleen was wearing a colourful scarf at lunch today. She just had it wrapped around her neck but it was a perfect scarf for tying a new knot that I learned recently. So I showed her how to do it.

Here’s how:

1. Make a loop in the middle of the scarf

2. Put the loop over your head

3. Make a second small loop at the front

4. Pull one of the long ends through from behind the loop

5. Push the second end down from the front of the loop

  6. There you have it – a nice flat knot that stays in place!
