Steps
Fold a long rectangular silk or silk-wool scarf in half lengthwise so it becomes one long double-layer band.
Drape the folded scarf around your neck with the loop on one side and the two loose ends on the other.
Pull the two loose ends across your chest and push them through the loop, leaving a few inches of slack.
Spread the loop into two even halves with your fingers to form the two bunny ears.
Tug the loose ends down gently to tighten the knot until the ears sit flat against your chest.
Arrange the ears so the pattern faces outward, then tuck the tails into your coat for a neat finish.
Tips and common mistakes
Keep both ears the same size, or the knot will look lopsided.
Silk slides easily, so make the loop snug before you head outside.
Steam or press the scarf on a low setting first so creases do not show.
A deep burgundy or green scarf lifts plain grey, navy and camel sweaters.
Questions
What length of scarf works best for this knot?
A long rectangular scarf around 180 cm gives you enough fabric for two full ears and hanging tails. Short square scarves tend to look bulky.
Can I do this knot with a thick wool scarf?
Yes, but a thick scarf makes bigger, heavier ears. Use a thinner silk, silk-wool or lightweight blend if you want a neat, flat result.
Will the knot stay put all day?
Usually yes, as long as you tighten the loop after tying. Slippery silk can loosen, so check it once when you put your coat on.
