An infinity scarf is a large, closed loop of fabric that can be worn in a variety of trendy ways. It can be worn in a traditional loop, double loop, pull through, and hood. It can even be worn as a vest. Experimenting with different variations of an infinity scarf can change up any outfit.

Method 1

Method 1 of 5:

Learning the Pull Through Method

  1. 1

    Place the scarf behind your neck. Grab the ends of the scarf so that the scarf is stretched horizontally behind your neck. The scarf should be parallel to your shoulders.[1]

    • The entire scarf should be behind your neck. Do not insert your head through the loop of the infinity scarf.

    2

    Drape the ends over your shoulders. Bring the two ends of infinity scarf to the front of your body. Let go of both ends so that the scarf drapes over each shoulder.[2]

    • Do not cross the ends of the scarf.

    3

    Insert one end through the other. Grasp the right end of the scarf, keeping the end closed. Insert the right end through the open end of the left side.[3]

    • The end being pulled through should be treated as a single portion of fabric rather than a loop.
  4. 7 Easy Ways to Wear an Infinity Scarf (with Pictures) (6)

    4

    Tighten the scarf. Pull the entire closed end of the scarf through the loop so that the scarf fits snuggly below your chin. Allow the one end to hang down in the front of your torso. Adjust the scarf to fit comfortably around your neck.[4]

    • Be careful to not pull the scarf too tight. The scarf should fit comfortably around your neck and allow plenty of room to breathe.

Method 2

Method 2 of 5:

Creating a Single Loop

  1. 7 Easy Ways to Wear an Infinity Scarf (with Pictures) (7)

    1

    Insert your head through the scarf. Let one side of the infinity scarf rest behind your neck.[5]

  2. 2

    Allow the scarf to hang. Adjust the scarf so that the majority of the fabric is hanging down in front of your body. The scarf may hang low, depending on the length of the scarf.[6]

  3. 7 Easy Ways to Wear an Infinity Scarf (with Pictures) (9)

    3

    Hide the seams. Readjust the scarf so that the seams are no longer visible.[7]

    • If you have a single perpendicular seam connecting the fabric into a loop, hide it at the base of your neck.
    • If there are seams along the inside of the scarf, position the scarf so that these seams are against your body instead of facing out.

Method 3

Method 3 of 5:

Creating a Double Loop

  1. 7 Easy Ways to Wear an Infinity Scarf (with Pictures) (10)

    1

    Insert your head through the scarf. Allow one side of the scarf to rest behind your neck. The rest of the fabric of the scarf should hang down the front of your body.[8]

    • The first step of the double loop is the same as the first step of the single loop.

    Cross the scarf in front of your body. Create a figure 8 in front of your body by crossing the lower right portion of the scarf over the lower left portion.

    • It does not matter which way you cross the fabric. You could also cross the lower left portion of the scarf over the lower right portion.

    • The point of intersection created by crossing the scarf should now lie in front of your neck.
