Specifics for leather Scarf Belt & the Gidget:

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!


Step1

Step 1

Starting with the basic fold, pull one scarf end through the top of an eyelet, then up and over the scarf.

Step2

Step 2

Bring the end down and around the back of scarf.

Step3

Step 3

Bring the end over the top loop and under the scarf and bottom loop.

Step4

Step 4

Pull belt to the right while pulling scarf end to the left and down to tighten knot.

Step5

Step 5

Adjust knot to preferred position and tuck scarf end under.

Options depending on your mood

1

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.

2

The Gidget tied around the waist with our favorite knot on one side and a simple knot on the other side with scarf end hanging down.

3

The Gidget tied around the waist with our favorite knot on both sides and the ends tucked under.

4

The Gidget tied around a hat. Adorable with our silk square scarves as well as our silk and cotton blends.

5

The leather scarf belt with our favorite knot on each side with ends tucked under.
