Scarf - Regular to Infinity

[karebear304]

Question - are all the scarves you girls wear infinity scarves or are you just tying the ends of regular scarves? I have tons of regular scarves, but when I tie them the "end part" gets really big and always falls down around my neck.

Am I doing something wrong or are all the loop ones yall have really infinity?

All of my 'infinity scarves' are self tied. I try to tie the ends as tight and small as possible. But, yes, I still get the 'ball'. :-P it helps to hide it if I wear my hair down.

The one I'm wearing today is a regular scarf that I tied into a little knot to make into an infinity scarf. I just make sure to layer a top layer of the scarf over the knot so you can't see it. It isn't that bulky.

I have a few true infinity scarves, but this works for my longer regular scarves. I have a few that are too short that this wouldn't work with.

I had a regular scarf that I loved but I could never tie it right so I just sewed up the ends together so it became an infinity scarf. It's permanent but since it never looked right any other way I don't mind.

I don't tie ends of my regular scarf...if I want the infinity look I will buy an infinitiy scarf. The knot bothers me.

I must super suck at tying. My knots are always huge. Will give it another try. Would be nice to not have to buy specific scarves for infinity since I like both styles.

I'm wondering if I can use two of those flat hair clips to kind of hook the ends together and then put that part on the inside. Will try that and report back if it's amazing.

Or you could always safety pin the ends together using 2-3 pins? Then you won't get the bulkiness. You just have to be careful they don't come undone and you get stuck.

I self tie. You can kind of see the ends or tails on the sides in this pic. Im not sure of this is the right way to tie the scarf though.
