How to knot a Carré into a halter top

Place your scarf (a 90 Carré) face down on a flat surface, gather a bit of silk where indicated,

and make a simple knot..

as small and tight and possible, like in the pic below.

Now place your scarf in front of your body, the knot facing inwards. Take the upper ends and secure behind your neck with a small double knot.

Take the lower ends and tie them behind your back with a small double knot.

Voilà!

  2. Hello MaiTai. I just discovered your blog and have been enjoying the variety of ways you use your H scarves. I always tie mine the same way. You really have inspired me to be more creative. Also, I like the pics of your farm--the olive trees,lavender,etc. You look so lovely even while gardening. Thanks for sharing.

  9. It's a great idea and looks beautiful in the front, but the back must be very exposed. Any remedies for that? I get cold sometimes!!!

  10. To cover up, you can always wear a cardie, blazer or jacket on top. Please click here to see an example: Scarf top with blazer
