Notes
- Use stretch fabric: Jersey knit works best for a snug but comfortable fit that stays in place.
- Adjust width as needed: For a slimmer or wider scarf, modify the initial 12" width based on your preference.
- Double for volume: Layer two scarves in coordinating fabrics for a bolder look.
- Secure with bobby pins: If your hair is slippery, pin in place for extra hold.
- Storage: Roll and store flat in a drawer or on a scarf hanger to prevent stretching.
