Basic Fold
For our square scarves, we use this classic fold most often – for both around the neck and the waist. It provides a clean, tailored look with either the Gidget or the Scarf Belt.

Our Favorite Knot for scarfbelt and gidget
Shannon’s husband, Mike, taught us this version of a knot for men’s ties. It took us a bit of practice, but it has become our go to knot for belt options. Neat and trim and easy, once you get the hang!
Step 1
Starting with the basic fold, pull one scarf end through the top of an eyelet, then up and over the scarf.
Step 2
Bring the end down and around the back of scarf.
Step 3
Bring the end over the top loop and under the scarf and bottom loop.
Step 4
Pull belt to the right while pulling scarf end to the left and down to tighten knot.
Step 5
Adjust knot to preferred position and tuck scarf end under.
Options depending on your mood
We mostly use just the swivel snap part of the Gidget with our square silk scarves. The lighter weight of the hardware helps to keep your creation where you want it.
