Try a traditional twist. Unfold your scarf so that all the material is exposed. Then, wrap the scarf around your neck once. Tighten the loop around your neck, or leave it loose and hanging near your bust. You can choose to have the tails hanging in either the front or around your back.
-
Wrap it in a classic knot. Wrap the scarf around your neck so that both the tail ends are hanging in the front. Then, simply tie a knot like you would to tie your shoes. You can tighten this knot to sit at the base of your throat, or you can leave it loose for a more casual look.
-
Tie a chain-link knot. Start your scarf off as you would for a classic knot, with one loose knot at the front of your neck. Then, take the ends and begin to make a double-knot with the scarf. However, instead of pulling the knot tight, leave 3-6 inches (7.6-15.2 cm) of space between your first and second knots to form a ring. Continue adding these loose knots to create the appearance of a chain.
-
Make a twisted knot. Wrap your scarf around your neck so that both the tail ends are hanging in the front. Then, tie a loose knot slightly above your bust with both the tail ends. Take each tail end and wrap it around the loop 2-3 times to make the edge look spiraled. For a simple look, wrap each tail around the spiral only once.
-
Tie a hacking knot. Fold your scarf in half lengthwise so that you have a loop on one end and two tails on the other. Wrap the scarf around your neck, and pull the two tail ends through the loop. You can pull this knot tight to your neck or leave it loose, allowing it to drape gently.
-
Create a double hacking knot. Follow the steps for a basic hacking knot by wrapping your scarf around your neck so that you have a loop and two tails. Then, pull a single tail through the loop and twist the loop to form a ring. Pull the second tail through this ring and adjust the scarf to your liking.
-
Scarf braid your pashmina. Fold your scarf in the style of a basic hacking knot, with a loop on one end and two tails on the other. Pull one of the tails through the loop, and then twist the loop to form a ring. Pull the second tail through this loop, and then twist it again to form a new ring. Put the first tail back through this new ring, and continue the pattern until you run out of scarf material to braid.
-
Make a knotted loop. Drape your scarf loosely around the front of your torso so the two tail ends are hanging over your shoulders down your back. The loop should drop slightly below your bust or lower. Tie the scarf in a tight double knot in the back, with the two tails hanging together along your spine. Pull your scarf forward and stretch out the fabric along its width to give the loop a pretty drape.
-
Tie your scarf into a bow. Follow the same directions you would to tie your shoes; wrap your scarf around your neck and tie it in a loose knot. Then, create two half-loops (bunny-ears) out of the tails of the scarf. Cross these to form an x, and then wrap one under and between the two loops. You should be left with a large bow which you can twist and adjust to your liking.
-
Create a pashmina tie. Tie your pashmina the same way you would a men's tie. Wrap the scarf around your neck so that the two tails are in the front, with the right tail being a little longer than the left tail. Take the right tail and wrap it over and around the left tail, so that it is back on the right side. Wrap it again over and under the left tail, but when you get to the underside pull it up through the loop around your neck, and down through the smaller loop you just made on the left tail. Adjust the fabric and tighten or loosen the pashmina to your liking.
-
Create a faux-infinity scarf. Tie the two ends of your pashmina together to create a loop. If your pashmina has fringe, use a few pieces of fringe to double-knot together. If not, use the corners of the rectangle; you should tie two knots at the two places where the corners meet. Then, place this large loop around your neck so that the knots are along your hairline. Double the loop around to create a large circle scarf with no ends hanging down. For a tight look, you can triple-loop the scarf.
-
Make a sliding knot. Wrap your scarf around your neck so that both of the tail ends are laying across your front. Adjust one tail so that it is slightly longer than the other tail. On this longer side, tie the tail into a knot. Then, take the loose tail and pull it through the center of the knot. You can then slide the knot up or down, and pull it to be loose or tight as you like.
-
Create a pretty loop. Place the scarf around your neck so that the two ends are in the front. Tie a basic knot with the two ends, but make one end slightly longer than the other. Leave the knot loose, and then grab the middle of the tail that is longer and pull it out of the top of the knot a bit. This should leave a pretty loop that drapes over the top of the knot, with the two tail ends showing from underneath.

Tie your scarf in a faux-bandana style. Drape your scarf over your chest so that th
