The Windsor knot is one way of tying your silk scarf and making it look full and trendy. It's a wide knot which is more commonly used on males' ties and for formal events. However women could also design their own oblong scarves this way and make up a wonderful full knot which can instantly adorn a top or blouse. If you would like know how you can tie a silk scarf by using a Windsor knot, follow these techniques:

Start by draping the scarf all over your neck

For you to tie a Windsor knot, put the scarf all over your neck so that it drapes loosely in front of you. Ensure that one end of the scarf is substantially shorter than the other. You will be tying most of the knot using the longer side, so you need to have enough of the scarf to work on. In case you are wearing a collared top, move the collar upward to keep it out from you.

Cross the long end and carry it beneath the narrow one

Carry the lengthier end of the scarf and cross it over the narrow one. After it is done the narrow end, carry it below the short end of the scarf. Then pull it up closer to the collar and over the loop of the collar.

You may turn the scarf over and slide the lengthier end below the shorter end

Turn the scarf over to ensure that it is on the left side of the collar's loop. Slip the longer end beneath the shorter one. Take the long end up in the direction of the collar.

Create a couple of small loops

Push the long end through the loop around the collar and be sure that a longer part of the scarf is pulled in the direction of the collar's right part. This will create 2 small loops on the sides of the scarf's narrow end. You can make changes with the knot either by pulling it firmer to make the knot more compact or leaving it loose to have a bigger knot.

Pull the scarf with the collar loo

Position the longer end of the scarf over the two loops you made so that it drapes. Begin covering the scarf under it then pull it through the collar's loop. The Windsor knot is starting to develop.

Pull the extended end downward

Thread the extended side with the top loop of the actual knot and then pull it downwards. Create the necessary changes so that the scarf can be located at the center button of your collar. Fold down the collar.

Because Windsor knots are generally wide and full, you could leave the uppermost button of the top open to give the knot more room. If you want, you can also wear Windsor knots over a collarless top so you can flaunt how it compliments your neckline.
