It is basically an accessory that is worn around the neck and looks like a handkerchief that is draped like a tie.

How To Wear A Neckerchief
  • Take a handkerchief with pretty colors and patterns, and spread it out flat on a smooth surface. Fold the square handkerchief in half, diagonally across, to form a triangle.
  • Next, roll the handkerchief from the top end of the triangle down towards the longer side. Tie the roll in the center by using a piece of thread or rubber band.
  • Place the rolled handkerchief around your neck, and cross the ends.
  • Bring one end behind the other, and then bring it up to the front by crossing the other end in the form of a knot.  
  • Ensure that both the ends are equal in length with each other. Cross the two ends again to form an ‘X’. Hold an opening with one finger and bring one end through the loop.
  • Tighten the knot and work on the handkerchief to smooth down the knot and level out both the ends. The result is that of a square knot.
