HOW-TO LASSO

Obviously I am a fan of super sized scarves and ever since starting Scout & Catalogue I have received plenty of emails asking how I tie the scarves in my photos. This season I designed a new scarf, the Lasso, that takes the bundling struggles out of scarf tying and makes the perfect wrap easy for everyone.

How-to Lasso

1. Figure out which end has your 'lasso' (leather loop).

2. Put scarf around the back of your neck, placing end with lasso (crystal side up) at about boob level. This means your scarf is not even - if you're short like me the end of the scarf without the lasso should be almost touching the ground. Take the long end and wrap once all the way around your neck. I like to give the coil around the front of my neck a little fluff to make the scarf appear really, really large.

3. The end without the lasso should now only be a little bit longer on your torso than the lasso end.

4. Place the non-lasso end through the lasso and pull the lasso up the length of fabric.

5. Keep sliding until you get it exactly where you want it.

6. Voila! A perfectly wrapped scarf!
