I may be late to the party, but I’m pretty sure it’s not just me. On more than one occasion, I’ve been stopped on the street by fellow Pac NWers, asking how did I tie that scarf.

Or a loop de looper? AKA the CBC tie, as all Canadian Broadcasting Centre reporters in colder climes, sport this as what appears to be the company’s uniform scarf tying method.
Here’s my favourite alternative, as taught by the clerk in an accessory store at the mall in which my office is located. I once needed to dress up an outfit for our AGM and bought a scarf. As in paid money for it. In a retail store. Blasphemy.
You can skip the next two pictures if you already know the technique. First, you fold the scarf in half and put it around your neck as in the loop de loop method, but you only pull one end through:
Then you pull the second end through, only from the other side.
Tidy it up and you’re done:
Excuse Gracee’s snow nose, she has a bad case this year. Don’t worry, it will be black again by summer. I think this is one of my all time favourite posts. Please ignore the dog’s dubious looks as she was most cooperative. How about a hand for our model.
