How correctly to wear a scarf-yoke?

There are many ways to tie a scarf-yoke. Most often scarf-yokes are worn around the neck, folding the canvas of the scarf with a "figure-eight", passing the head into the formed rings. If one of the scarf rings is spread out to the full width, covering your head, you get a stylish scarf-hood. If you pull the scarf more tightly (once again wrapping it around the neck), we get the original hood, which reliably protects not only the head, but also the neck. Lifting the front side of one of the scarf rings, we can turn the scarf-yoke into a balaclava hat that, in addition to the head and neck, covers the lower part of the face. If we wrap the canvas of the scarf not around the neck, but around the shoulders, we get an unusual cloak-tippet.

The hats of the scarf-yoke are good because if the sun has suddenly warmed up and become too warm, they can be turned into a beautiful volumetric accessory - you will not lose anything in decorativeness, but you will not have to carry an unnecessary hat with you. The convenience of the scarf-yoke is also in the fact that in such models there are no loose ends of the fabric, which means that you do not have to think about how to fix them so that they do not hang and hang. It is ideal for those who do not want to mess around with knots, bows, brooches and pins that are used to fasten ordinary scarves.

As you can see, you can tie a scarf-yoke in a good ten ways, each time getting a different result.
