I asked for a couple blanket scarves this year and once I got my hands on them, I realized that they were a different animal than the smaller scarves I own. Blanket scarves are gorgeous, but if you don’t tie them correctly, then can end up being a bit of a bulky mess around your neck. Rather than wade through dozens of fashion bloggers’ takes on blanket scarves, get the step-by-step tutorials for our favorite blanket scarf looks in the slideshow. You’ll be looking beyond chic (and beyond warm) this season.

Comfy & Cozy
For a cute and simple look, fold your scarf into a triangle and grab hold of both the end pieces, cross the two ends behind your head, and pull them to the front. Then tuck the two ends under your scarf and fluff it to make it look full and on point!

The Infinity Tie
Fold scarf in half (triangle point facing down) and bunch the scarf to make it appear thinner, wrap it around your neck like normal with the two ends facing down, grab the two ends, tie behind your neck (tuck it under), and voila! Note: This look can be really chic if you loosely tuck your hair into the scarf!

The Bandanna Look
Fold the scarf in half (triangle) and place around your neck, leaving one side slightly longer than the other. Grab the top corner from the side that is longer, pull it over to the other side, and tuck under the scarf (be sure to tuck it in slightly). Then repeat for the other side for this easy and cute bandanna look!
