I love the look of this scarf knot and how the lines of the pattern emphasize the intricate technique.

Instead of describing how he did this knot...video!

The process may not be complicated, but the look is overly complicated. It's such a simple scarf, but, tied thus, it weighs too much.

That's really nice video. It is the first time I can see such a knot used by another person.
I've been using this knot, since December last year. That was my own invention in the use of nautical knot - polish name is "wyblinka".
World is small :)

I'm definitely going to have to save this for next season though as it's already starting to warm up here in Austin.

Dig the knot.

Very cool way to wear the scarf, I love it. Going to give it a whirl this evening. He's wearing some of my favorite nearly non-color colors. Would love to see the face, but I guess you'll keep us all in suspense. Being from Florence, I'm sure he is easy on the eyes!

Anonymous Patrick C. said ... (5:24 PM) : 

Years ago, Bill Cunningham devoted a whole montage to men on the street wearing scarves folded in half then the ends pulled through at the middle. The rest of that winter all the dapper circle seemed to wear them that way (that is, unless I hadn't noticed before). This will certainly be MY 2010 update! As Bill always says, "just MARVELOUS..."

I love this knot, I use it all the time come winter, and am often asked how I did it. Looks great with any scarf, and is superbly warm with a big pashmina.

It's actually really easy...I use a slightly different method, but however you do it, it only takes a couple of goes to get the trick & then you'll never forget!
