![]() Bring your hand under the far side of the loop and through (bottom left), and grab the other end, pulling it through (bottom middle). Whereas right above you bring both ends though the loop, here just bring one end through the loop (top right). ![]() Bias fold the shawl, and bring the middle to the one side, creating a loop, and the ends on the other side (top middle). This fold I also demonstrated in the last article but honestly I love how it looks on this shawl, so here it is again. Bring the ends through the middle (right). Bias fold, and bring the middle to one side of you, and the ends on the other side (left). Of course, there is this very simple method which always works if you have no time to play. ![]() You can also then tie them in front of you (bottom right). You can tie them and be done, or you can pull them in front of you (bottom middle). Then bring the ends around behind your neck (bottom left). Similar to one of the options I mentioned in part one, bias fold the shawl and wrap the ends around each other once (top middle and right). You can tuck this into a jacket, blazer or coat. Pull the ends around the back of your neck and to the front of you (top right), and half-knot the ends together (bottom left). You can’t necessarily just bias fold a GM cashmere and tuck it into a blazer because it will be longer than the hem of a blazer however, you can absolutely do that with a longer coat.īias folded and wrapped around the neck once – half tie in front – ends brought behind the neck and tied together.Īnother good option is to fold the shawl into a triangle (top left) and put the triangle in front of you (middle), with the ends hanging down behind you. Many of the basic ties that I demonstrated with a 90cm you can also do with a 140cm, it will just be a bit thicker and longer. Most of these options can be done with any of these larger formats, whether cashmere blend, silk or mousseline. For these reasons, I have decided to use a 140cm silk to demonstrate the tying options for this size, as it will be easier for you to see. I personally love the mousselines, but as you can see all the layers at once, it’s difficult to show how one is tied. While the cashmeres are very soft and cozy, I find that colors are truer and bolder on the silk, and the silk is also less bulky. This is true regardless of whether you are using a 140cm scarf of silk, mousseline, or the cashmere/silk blend to me, they’re all pretty warm, and as for me, my purchases are based more on the design rather than the blend. I personally find that both sizes have their uses, although generally the larger sizes can be a bit more functional (for warmth) and not just decorative. It seems to me that most people either prefer the regular, 90cm square (“carrè” or PM/ petit modele) size, OR the larger, 140cm (shawl or GM/ grand modele) size. This is especially important as you will want to know how to fold your scarf in the oblong/bias fold. If you haven’t read part one yet (or need a refresher), you can read part one now. Hi, everyone! I’m back with the Hermès scarf tying article Part Two (here’s Part One), “Electric Boogaloo”, where I will attempt to explain to you how to tie your Hermès scarves in the other formats, specifically the shawl size, the pochette, the twilly and the maxi twilly slim.
